Modern enterprise application configuration with Spring
Thursday 10.00 - 10.50 in: Honey Badger
The Spring family of projects have long been some of the most important tools in the enterprise Java developer's toolkit. Very often though, Spring is characterized as being too dependent on XML-based configuration. This session will take a deep look at how Java applications can be configured entirely in code, eliminating Spring-, JPA- and even Servlet-related XML. We'll also look beyond efforts in the core Spring Framework and explore how higher-level Spring projects like Spring Data and Spring Integration take advantage of code based configuration.
