Introducing Spring ROO: Part 1
Over the past few months I have been involved in the development of a new Spring project codenamed ROO.
Spring ROO provides interactive, lightweight, user customisable tooling that enables rapid delivery of high performance enterprise Java applications.
For this introduction I have chosen to write a simple shopping list containing only ShoppingList and Item as domain objects.
Spring Finance > Part 5: Spring Web Flow Integration
In this fifth instalment of the Spring Finance Manager series I am integrating a form wizard into the application. When developing a MVC-based Web application it becomes sometimes hard to figure out in which sequence resources should be created in case they are dependent on each other. It makes more sense to guide users through the steps in the correct sequence. This is where Spring Web Flow comes into play.
This article shows how to integrate Web flows into MVC-based applications in a sensible way.
Spring Finance > Part 4: Spring JS, Dojo & Bean Validation
In this fourth installment of the Spring Finance Manager series you will see some of the Spring JS features and also some examples of the Dojo toolkit features in action. I will also outline how the new Bean Validation API (JSR-303) fits in. In addition, I have implemented the complete domain model for the Spring Finance Manager sample application as outlined in part 1 of this series.
