(FALL 2009)

This course enables the Java developer to use the Spring Application Framework to create multi-tier Web applications. Spring is a light-weight framework that aims to simplify development of enterprise solutions. Its support for Inversion of Control (IoC) promotes loose coupling of dependent objects. It also has rich support for aspect-oriented programming (AOP). We will use the framework to build a working enterprise strength application including business, web and data access tier. We will focus on the Core and MVC modules, with a lighter touch on persistence through DAO and ORM modules. Prerequisites: Experience with object-oriented programming using Java; working familiarity with J2EE and web development using Java technologies. See enrollment confirmation for login information.
