Spring-DM RefCard Available for Download

Posted by: Craig Walls on 06/07/2009

I'm happy to announce that my latest DZone RefCard, Getting Started with Spring-DM is now available for free download.

This RefCard covers all of the basics of working with Spring-DM (and a few advanced tips). In a succinct 6 pages, you'll learn how to...

  • ...add the Spring-DM extender to your OSGi runtime
  • ...publish Spring beans as services in the OSGi service registry
  • ...consume services from the OSGi service registry as Spring beans
  • ...write tests that exercise OSGi bundles and the services that they publish

I'm excited about this RefCard not only because it represents the blending of two of my favorite topics (Spring and OSGi), but also because it provides you with the essentials for working with the SpringSource dm Server and gives you a foundation for what's to come with Blueprint Services in OSGi R4.2.

After downloading the Spring-DM RefCard, if you find yourself wanting more, then I encourage you to check out Modular Java. As I write this, the book is at the printers and should start shipping from Pragmatic in the next few weeks (and will be in other bookstores shortly after that). Even then, if you can't wait, it's also currently available in beta form from Pragmatic or for pre-order from Amazon.com.
