TITLE:
A (re)introduction to Spring MVC

ABSTRACT:
Spring 2.5 introduced many new features, especially with regard to annotation-driven configuration. The number of annotations available in Spring has doubled and no area of Spring development has benefited from annotation-driven development more than Spring’s own MVC framework. At the same time, Spring has adopted many convention-over-configuration capabilities, especially in Spring MVC, that can dramatically reduce the amount of configuration required to build Spring-enabled web applications.

BIO:
Craig Walls has been professionally developing software for over 13 years (and longer than that for the pure geekiness of it). He is the author of Spring in Action (now in its second edition) and XDoclet in Action, both published by Manning.

When he’s not slinging code, Craig spends as much time as he can with his wife, two daughters, 6 birds, 3 dogs, and an ever-fluctuating number of tropical fish.
