I am looking forward to start exploring the power of Spring. There are a number of issues that we have tried to solve in our current project that I think Spring would have helped us a lot. I think we may end up getting mad at ourselves for not looking at Spring sooner. I will write more as I learn more about Spring in the coming weeks.
In college I got my feet wet with the basics of Spring but now I will look at more of the specific features. For my presentation in college I focused on MVC, IoC, and a little AOP but I think there will be a lot more use looking at specific applications.
Of the most interest to me and our current project is:
- Security (Acegi)
- Messaging (JMS) – we currently use JMS for sending requests and getting responses from services. Unfortunately we currently do this by passing serialized objects around instead of a less coupled document centric approach.
- LDAP and JNDI – somewhat associated with Security but we are interested in doing more with LDAP and JNDI in general.
- Configuration – using Spring for configuration and dependency injection with bean properties
