Spring MVC: Designing Real-World Web Applications

Summary

We have successfully covered all the major technologies and concepts of core Spring Framework in this chapter. We are now capable of developing robust, standalone Spring applications composed of loosely-coupled beans inside the powerful Spring IoC container. We know how to apply cross-cutting concerns transparently across different layers of an application using the very flexible pointcut expressions of Spring AOP. We can manipulate Spring beans using Spring Expression Language, which helps keep the code clean and highly maintainable. We learned how to maintain multiple environment-specific bean configurations and property files using bean definition profiles. Now, we are all set for professional Spring development.
