Session Title: Spring Framework 3.0: New and Notable
Session Abstract: The Spring Framework is the most popular application programming framework for development on the Java™ platform and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE platform), with widespread use across many industries. Spring enables POJO-based development in any runtime environment while making it easy for developers to access advanced enterprise services. The latest Spring release, 3.0, introduces new features and enhancements that make Spring more powerful and extensible yet even simpler to use. If you’re a Spring user, you should understand these features and how they may benefit you; if you are not yet a Spring user, you may find Spring significantly more compelling.

In this presentation, Rod Johnson, the father of Spring and CEO of SpringSource, talks about some of the key new features. He explains and demonstrates
• Spring 3.0’s comprehensive REST support
• The new Spring Expression Language and how it can simplify configuration
• The Spring Web stack, from Spring MVC through Spring Web Flow, including comprehensive Ajax and JavaServer™ Faces technology support
• Spring’s Java platform configuration offering, introducing an internal DSL for configuration using Java technology-based annotation

Johnson shows code examples throughout the presentation, leaving attendees ready to try these new features out for themselves.
