This document provides an overview of the Spring Framework. It begins with some background on Spring and why it is useful. Specifically, it notes that Spring addresses several areas that other frameworks cannot, is both comprehensive and modular, and is designed to help write easily testable code. It then summarizes the main aspects of Spring, including the core container, data integration modules, web modules, AOP support, and testing integration. It provides brief explanations of the purpose and functionality of these various aspects of the Spring Framework.

4. Spring Framework
• Provides a comprehensive programming and
configuration model for modern java-based
enterprise application on any kind of
deployment platform.
• Open source framework.
• Founded by Rod Johnson in 2002.

5. Why Spring?
• Although we have other frameworks, then
why Spring?
• Spring is unique for several reasons
– It addresses several important areas, that many
other popular frameworks cannot.
– Both comprehensive and modular.
– Is designed from the ground up to help you write
code that is easy to test.
– Increasingly important integration technology.

7. Core container
• Core module provides the fundamental parts of the
framework including the IoC and dependency injection
features.
• Bean module provides BeanFactory which is a sophisticated of
the factory pattern.
• Context module builds on the solid base provided by the Core
and Beans modules and it is a medium to access any objects
defined and configured.
• Expression language module provides a powerful expression
language for querying and manipulating an object graph at
runtime.

8. Data/Access integration
• JDBC module provides a JDBC-abstraction layer that removes the need to
do tedious JDBC related coding.
• ORM module provides integration layers for popular object-relational
mapping APIs, including JPA, JDO, Hibernate and iBatis.
• OXM provides an abstraction layer that supports Object/XML mapping
implementations for JAXB, Castor, XMLBeans, JiBX, and XStream.
• Transaction module supports programmatic and declarative transaction
management for classes that implement special interfaces and for all
your POJOs.
• JMS (Java Messaging Service) contains features for producing and
consuming messages.

9. Web
• Web module provides basic web-oriented-integration features
such as multi-part file upload functionality and the
initialisation of the IoC container using servlet listeners and a
web oriented application context.
• Web-Servlet module contains Spring MVC(Model View
Controller) for web applications.
• Web-Struts module contains the support classes for
integrating a classic struts web tier within a Spring application.
• Web-Portlet provides the MVC implementation to be used in
a portlet environment and mirrors the Web-Servlet module.

10. Other compartments
• AOP provides aspect-oriented-programming implementation
allowing you to define method interceptors and point-cuts to
cleanly decouple that implements functionality that should be
separated.
• Aspects module provides integration with AspectJ which is
again a powerful and mature aspect oriented programming
(AOP) framework.
• Instrumentation module provides class instrumentation
support and class loader implementations to be used in
certain application servers.
• Test module supports testing of Spring components with
Junits or Testing frameworks.
