Intro to Spring 4, Spring MVC, and Spring REST

Overview

Including integration of Spring with Java EE Web applications and an introduction to Spring MVC. Spring MVC utilizes a Model-View-Controller pattern for building Web applications, and the introduction covers the basics of Spring MVC, and how it supports organizing your Web applications in a highly structured, loosely coupled manner. This includes an introduction to REST (Representational state transfer), and how to use Spring MVC to build RESTful resources and invoke them from Ajax-based front ends.  This course is hands on with labs to reinforce all the important concepts.  It will enable you to build working Spring applications and give you an understanding of the important concepts and technology in a very short time.

• Understand and use the core principles of Spring, and of Dependency Injection (DI) / Inversion of Control
• Know the different types of metadata and how and when to use them
• Understand and use the complete capabilities of the Core module, such as lifecycle events, bean scopes, and the Spring API
• Work with the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) module to integrate Spring with technologies such as Hibernate or JPA.
• Integrate Spring with Java EE Web applications
• Build Web applications with Spring MVC, including configuration using Java config and Servlet 3 capabilities
• Understand REST, and use Spring MVC to build RESTful services and use Ajax-based front ends with Spring MVC / Spring REST
