Craig Walls
Author of Spring in Action
Craig Walls has been professionally developing software for over 17 years (and longer than that for the pure geekiness of it). He is a senior engineer with SpringSource as the Spring Social project lead and is the author of Spring in Action and XDoclet in Action (both published by Manning) and Modular Java (published by Pragmatic Bookshelf). He's a zealous promoter of the Spring Framework, speaking frequently at local user groups and conferences and writing about Spring and OSGi on his blog. When he's not slinging code, Craig spends as much time as he can with his wife, two daughters, 4 birds and 3 dogs.
Presentations
Spring in Action: Fundamentals for Developing Spring Apps
Spring has been one of the most exciting frameworks to emerge in the past few years. With Spring you can decouple your application's objects, enrich them with AOP, and apply transactional boundaries and security to them declaratively. It simplifies data access, remoting, web services, and JMS. It comes with its own web framework. And, even though Spring eliminates much of the need for EJBs, it will still integrate nicely with any EJBs you may have lying around. What's not to love?
Everyone's favorite Java framework continues to improve, with significant enhancements in Spring 2.5 and many more slated for Spring 3.0. Maybe you've already seen or read about Spring and perhaps you've even developed applications using Spring. But have you seen the latest that Spring has to offer.
In this example-driven presentation, I'll lead a guided tour through the key features of Spring, with an emphasis on the Spring's core facilities of Dependency Injection and Aspect-Oriented Programming. Whether you're a Spring newbie or a seasoned Spring developer, there'll be something new for nearly everyone.
Spring Cleaning: Tips for Managing XML Clutter
A common complaint about Spring is the vast amount of XML required to configure an application. In this presentation, I'll show you ways to reduce or even eliminate much of the XML required to configure Spring.
A typical Spring configuration file will contain dozens, hundreds, or possibly thousands of lines of XML. Because of all of the XML clutter, some have started looking for alternatives to Spring that don't require so much configuration, even if it means forfeiting all of the other benefits afforded by Spring.
But before you throw the baby out with the bathwater, you should know that there are several ways to simplify Spring configuration so that it isn't so XML-heavy.
In this presentation, I'll show you ways to cut back on Spring configuration while still achieving the same results. I'll discuss a few XML reducing ideas, such as custom configuration namespaces, and I'll also show you some XML-free options such as using Java 5 annotations and scripting languages to configure Spring.
Useful Spring Extensions
Spring Modules is a java.net project that provides a home for extensions to the Spring Framework, almost like a Spring plugin repository. This session will provide an overview of the extensions, highlight the coolest ones and show you how you can get started with them in your applications.
Some of the extensions covered include: - Caching - db4o - Workflows modules - JCR - Validation - XT
From "Hello World" to Real World : Building Web Apps with Spring-DM
As a matter of good design and best practice, we all know we should divide our application code into logical layers or modules that can be developed independent of each other. But if modularization is a good practice to follow as we write our code, why do we package it all up into a monolithic WAR file for deployment?
Breaking an application down into several well-defined modules affords developers many advantages, including:
* Easier parallel development
* Improved testability
* Substitutability of functionality
* Isolation of updates
Both a de facto standard and a proper standard, OSGi offers lightweight modularity to Java. Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi (Spring-DM) brings the power of Spring to OSGi, making it possible to create, deploy, and wire OSGi components together without mucking about in the OSGi API. Together, Spring-DM and OSGi enable assembly of applications from fine-grained modules (known as bundles) that can be developed, deployed, and updated independent of each other. This combination of Spring and OSGi offers developers a refreshing lightweight component framework that is dramatically changing the enterprise Java landscape.
In this example-driven session, I'll show you the basics of building Spring-DM components, starting with a simple "Hello World" example and then ramping up quickly to a full-blown web application. You'll learn how to publish and consume services, how to extend bundles with OSGi fragments, and how to write integration tests against your component bundles.

The secret weapon for attacking complexity in any project is to break it down into smaller, cohesive, and more easily digestible pieces. With Modular Java, you can easily develop applications that are more flexible, testable, maintainable, and comprehensible.
Modular Java is a pragmatic guide to developing modular applications using OSGi, the framework for dynamic modularity in Java, and Spring Dynamic Modules, an OSGi extension to the Spring Framework. You'll start with the basics but quickly ramp up, creating loosely coupled modules that publish and consume services, and you'll see how to compose them into larger applications. Along the way, you'll apply what you learn as you build a complete web application that is made up of several OSGi modules, using Spring-DM to wire those modules together.
Modular Java is filled with tips and tricks that will make you a more proficient OSGi and Spring-DM developer. Equipped with the know-how gained from this book, you'll be able to develop applications that are more robust and agile.

Spring in Action 2E is an expanded, completely updated second edition of the best selling Spring in Action. Written by Craig Walls, one of Manning's best writers, this book covers the exciting new features of Spring 2.0, which was released in October 2006.
Spring is a lightweight container framework that represents an exciting way to build enterprise components with simple Java objects. By employing dependency injection and AOP, Spring encourages loosely coupled code and enables plain-old Java objects with capabilities that were previously reserved for EJBs. This book is a hands-on, example-driven exploration of the Spring Framework. Combining short code snippets and an ongoing example developed throughout the book, it shows readers how to build simple and efficient J2EE applications, how to solve persistence problems, handle asynchronous messaging, create and consume remote services, build web applications, and integrate with most popular web frameworks. Readers will learn how to use Spring to write simpler, easier to maintain code so they can focus on what really matters-- critical business needs.
Spring in Action, 2E is for Java developers who are looking for ways to build enterprise-grade applications based on simple Java objects, without resorting to more complex and invasive EJBs. Even hard-core EJB users will find this book valuable as Spring in Action, 2E will describe ways to use EJB components alongside Spring. Software architects will also find Spring in Action, 2E useful as they assess and apply lightweight techniques prescribed by Spring. and learn how Spring can be applied at the various layers of enterprise applications.
