If you missed last night’s presentation, you missed a good one. Steve Dodge gave a talk on Practical Spring and is was great. He walked us through the PetStore sample app touching on Spring MVC, JdbcTemplate, and how to wire it all together. I counted 39 lucky people.

I said I would post links to Steve’s Simple Workflow Engine with Spring and The ACEGI Security System

Again, thanks to Steve for presenting, thanks to everyone that attended, and thanks to Dave at Nerdbooks for the meeting space.

I will present Spring from a very practical point of view. I will outline my use of Spring oven the past several months including the reasons that I chose to use it, concerns that were encountered, and the advantages that you get from it. To emphasize the success that I have using Spring I will briefly present several scenarios in which I’ve used it. Using the following outline I will quickly coven the areas of Spring that I am currently using.

  1. General purpose use, simple workflow
  2. Spring timers: TimerFactonyBean and Quartz
