The Spring Value Proposition in the World of Java EE 5.0 and EJB 3.0
Spring 2.0, Java EE 5.0, EJB 3.0, how do they relate? This session compares and analyzes Spring 2.0 in the world of Java EE 5.0.
One of the main goals of the Java EE 5 specification was to simplify the EJB programming model to overcome the complexity of previous versions. Among simplifications in the component model, new features such as Dependency Injection (DI) and annotation based interception have been added to the specification.
The session will give a brief introduction to the new features of EJB 3.0, comparing them to features available in Spring (including Spring AOP) and AspectJ. It will show that Spring adds value even in a Java EE 5.0 environment, and generally offers more comprehensive Inversion of Control and Dependency injection capabilities, while offering true AOP functionality, not just simple interception.
