Description

1 SARKOZY, FRANCE, AND NATO WILL SARKOZY's RAPPROCHEMENT TO NATO BE SUSTAINABLE? MARCEL H. VAN HERPEN A shorter version of this article was published in THE NATIONAL INTEREST, No. 95, May/June 2008, with the title “I Say NATO, You Say No NATO”, pp. 92 – 96. Available online at I. Introduction Sarko ‘the American'? When the former French President, Chirac, left office in May 2007, some people in the White House and on Capitol Hill might have breathed private sighs of relief.

What is Spring Framework?

●

Light-weight yet comprehensive framework for building Java SE and Java EE applications

5

Key Features

●

● ●

JavaBeans-based configuration management, applying Inversion-of-Control principles, specifically using the Dependency Injection   technique – This aims to reduce dependencies of components on specific implementations of other components. A core bean factory, which is usable globally Generic abstraction layer for database transaction management

6

Key Features

●

● ●

Built-in generic strategies for JTA and a single JDBC DataSource – This removes the dependency on a Java EE environment for transaction support. Integration with persistence frameworks Hibernate, JDO and iBATIS. MVC web application framework, built on core Spring functionality, supporting many technologies for generating views, including JSP, FreeMarker, Velocity, Tiles, iText, and POI.

7

Key Features

●

Extensive aspect-oriented programming (AOP) framework to provide services such as transaction management

– As with the Inversion-of-Control parts of the system, this aims to improve the modularity of systems created using the framework.

Why Use Spring?

●

●

●

Wiring of components through Dependency Injection – Promotes de-coupling among the parts that make the application Design to interfaces – Insulates a user of a functionality from implementation details Test-Driven Development (TDD) – POJO classes can be tested without being tied up with the framework

10

Why Use Spring?

●

●

Declarative programming through AOP – Easily configured aspects, esp. transaction support Simplify use of popular technologies – Abstractions insulate application from specifics, eliminate redundant code – Handle common error conditions – Underlying technology specifics still accessible
