2011-10-31 | 11:45 AM - 12:30 PM Spring 3.1 introduces several eagerly awaited features including bean definition profiles (a.k.a., environment-specific configuration), enhanced Java-based application and infrastructure configuration (a la XML namespaces), and a new cache abstraction. This session will provide attendees with a high-level overview of these major new features, plus a quick look at additional enhancements to the framework such as the new c: namespace for constructor arguments, support for Servlet 3.0, improvements to Spring MVC and REST, and Spring's new integration testing support for profiles and configuration classes.
