Spring Case Study – French Tax Authority

As part of a strategy to put Open Source at the heart of mission-critical, high volume applications, the French Tax Authority has successfully taken a big step to modernize France’s tax services. Working with the French Tax Authority, Accenture has helped provide the more than 34 million tax payers a set of second generation applications that offer access to web-based tax declarations and fiscal account consultation.

This case study will highlight how Accenture moved the previous EJB-based architecture towards a light-weight architecture based upon Spring and Hibernate. We will look at several of the key motivations for using Spring and how it has helped increase developer productivity with J2EE.
