Using The Spring Framework in BEA WebLogic Server

BEA WebLogic Server 9.0 is the leading implementation of Sun Microsystems' J2EE 1.4 and provides superior enterprise support - enhanced management, ease-of-use, high availability, scalability, reliability, and performance. WebLogic Server is not tied to any particular programming model; thus, it is a natural fit with the new breed of non-J2EE programming models, including the Spring Framework.

This session will demonstrate how Spring-based applications may take advantage of WebLogic Server's core competencies as well as the finer points of Spring and WebLogic Server integration. Topics to be discussed are best practices for utilizing Spring on WebLogic Server, clustering Spring applications, administration console support for Spring applications, Web Service enablement, distributed transactions, and Java Management Extensions support. The session will also demonstrate integrating Spring with persistence implementations such Kodo and Hibernate via the Medical Records sample application. The session will discuss future collaboration between BEA and Interface21 to deliver tighter WebLogic-Spring integration. At the end of the session, attendees will understand that BEA's commitment to The Spring Framework and WebLogic Server's core competencies provide a decisive advantage to Spring-based applications.
