The motivation is to demonstrate how to use some of the numerous extensibility planes in the Spring framework to adapt the framework to your particular needs. Spring provides numerous SPIs for just this sort of thing. Need to handle batch processing against a custom source? Write a Spring Batch ItemSource. Want to listen for events in an external system? Write a Spring Integration adapter. Want to work with a new, transactional resource? Implement a PlatformTransactionManager. Want to render custom Spring MVC views? Implement the Spring MVC View. Want to talk to a custom RESTful endpoint? Implement an HttpMessageConverter. In this talk, Josh explores some of the powerful components that - while useful, were designed to be extended.
