Abstract

Spring 2.5 was released almost a year ago enabling support for annotations in all parts of a system including dependency injection, web layer configuration and testing. This session will review the Spring 2.5 annotation-based programming model with an eye on best practices and trade-offs while also providing a perspective on what's coming in the next major release, Spring 3.0.
