Case Study: HSBC "Joins Up" Using Spring

This session presents a case study detailing HSBC's approach to the adoption of the Spring framework.

In 2005, HSBC made the decision to evergreen its existing home grown Java framework. This case study presents the background related to the decision, the decision making process itself, and finally the actual implementation approach. It includes an overview of which components were adopted, and which were forgone in favor of homegrown alternatives, with an in-depth analysis of the reasoning behind HSBC's decision not to use Spring MVC or Spring Flow in favor of its own Request Processing model in combination with JSF.
