Course Overview

Mastering Spring 4.2 and the Enterprise is a five day in-depth course geared for experienced Java and Spring developers who need to understand how to use Spring in conjunction with the enterprise resources and technologies available in today's systems and architectures.  The course covers a wide spectrum of topics, so students should have a basic understanding of those technologies and resources prior to taking this class.  Students will gain hands-on experience working with Spring, using Maven for project and dependancy management, and, optionally, a test-driven approach (using JUnit) to the labs in the course.

Key Learning Areas

  • Core Spring Framework (including Inversion of Control, Dependency Injection, and Aspect-Oriented Programming)
  • Advanced Framework Features and Projects (including Spring Boot, Handling Application Events, and Spring Security)
  • Spring and Persistence (including Spring DAOs, Transactions, and Spring Data)
  • Spring and the Web (including Spring MVC and Web Flow supporting WebSockets, HTML5, and asynchronous processing)
  • Integrating Spring into the Enterprise (including Spring Integration working with JMS and other remoting options)
  • Spring Security (including interceptors, authentication managers, access decision managers, and filters)
  • Spring Remoting (working with RMI, Hessian, Burlap, and HttpInvoker)
