Spring Portlets

In this session, Mark and John will give a tour of the Spring Portlet MVC framework. They will provide an in-depth review of a sample application developed using the Spring Portlet MVC framework. If you are using Spring in a Portlet environment, this session is for you.

Spring's Portlet MVC framework brings the proven benefits of the servlet-based Spring MVC framework to JSR-168 Portlet development. In fact, many of Spring MVC's classes and interfaces have parallel versions within the portlet framework. Therefore, architects and developers who are already familiar with Spring MVC's architecture and idioms will find themselves immediately at home, while new Spring users will find it refreshingly intuitive.

In this session, Mark and John will point out the similarities and differences between servlet and portlet applications at a high level. Then, they will give a quick tour of the Spring Portlet MVC framework highlighting how these similarities and differences manifest themselves. Finally, they will provide an in-depth review of the code and configuration for a sample application developed using the Spring Portlet MVC framework.

If you are an architect or developer who is already using or plans to use portlets to deliver highly customizable, personalized portal applications to your enterprise, then this presentation will give you the necessary information to become productive using the Spring Portlet MVC framework.
