Spring Framework Training SA

2KO will be offering a Spring Framework Java training course in Cape Town, South Africa.

The main features of the Spring Framework can be used by any Java application, but there are specific extensions for building web applications on top of the Java Enterprise platform. Although the Spring Framework does not impose any specific programming model, it has become popular in the Java community as an alternative to, replacement for, or even addition to the Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) model.

Spring Framework Training Prerequisites
All attendees must have at least one year of full-time Java and JSP development experience. Prior experience with EJB and Java web services is recommended but not required.
 

Software Needed on Each Student PC

• Java SE SDK
• JBoss^®, WebLogic, WebSphere, or another suitable Java EE container
• MySQL or another database of your choice
• Java IDE of your choice

Note: If you have purchased this class, please contact us for a detailed setup sheet.

Spring Framework Training Objectives

• Understand the scope, purpose, and architecture of Spring
• Use Spring's Inversion of Control to declare application components, rather than hard-coding their states and lifecycles
• Use Dependency Injection to further control object relationships from outside the Java code base
• Create validators for business objects, and associate them for application-level and unit-testing uses
• Build a Web application as a Spring DispatcherServlet and associated application context, with declared beans acting as controllers, command objects, and view resolvers
• Build and manage HTML forms with Spring command objects and custom tags
• Use Spring interceptors to implement horizontal features in the Web application
• Connect business objects to persistent stores using Spring's DAO and ORM modules
