Presentations

Case Study: Morgan Stanley Spring Usage

This session will explore how and why Spring is being used at a large financial institution. How is Java used at the firm? Why is Spring a good fit?

Mark will show how Spring is helping to execute on a strategy of providing the firm's Java developers with a best-of-breed blend of open-source and in-house libraries. We will look at examples of how Spring is used in a variety of applications. Mark will talk about how engaging with Spring committers is helping address the firm's particular needs around robust, high-throughput transaction processing over multiple resources without an XA transaction manager.
