Presentations

Introducing Spring Java Configuration

Spring Java Configuration, or JavaConfig for short, provides a pure-Java and type-safe mechanism for configuring the Spring IoC container. This approach provides the benefits of centralized dependency injection with the power and ease of working in Java and without the angle brackets of XML.

In this session you'll learn:

  • The benefits of JavaConfig
  • How JavaConfig compares to and integrates with Spring's other configuration approaches (XML and Annotation-Driven Injection)
  • How to use JavaConfig to wire up your own applications

Live demos will include:

  • Porting Spring's PetClinic web application from Spring XML to Spring JavaConfig
