Spring is HOT! The open source Java-based framework, Spring, is at the forefront of industry discussion. Written by Spring insiders Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek, Pro Spring is the only book endorsed by Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Framework.

The open source Spring Framework allows developers to build lighter, better-performing applications. At over 800 pages, Pro Spring is by far the most comprehensive book available and thoroughly explores the power of Spring. You'll learn Spring basics and core topics, as well as share the authors' insights and real-world experience with remoting, mail integration, hibernate, and EJB.

From the Foreword:

"Rob’s enthusiasm for Spring—and technology in general—is infectious. He has a wide range of industry experience and a refreshingly practical, common sense approach to applying it. All those qualities come out in this book. It’s evident on nearly every page that it reflects in-depth experience with Spring and J2EE as a whole. Rob is not only an author and open source developer—he is an application developer, like his readers. I firmly believe that the best writing on software development comes out of experience in the trenches, so this is my kind of book.

If you’re new to Spring, this book will help you understand its core concepts and the background in areas such as transaction management and O/R mapping that underpins them. If you’re already using Spring, you will learn about features you haven’t yet seen and hopefully, gain a deeper understanding of those features you’re already using."
—Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Framework.

Best of the Spring Tutorials
While describing all the features of the Spring Framework would take a 3-volume set, Rob and Jan did a great job packing a ton of information into the space they had, and it has become the Spring reference of choice for our entire department. The book takes you through construction of a typical application, showing all the configuration details and explaining the interaction between the various components. It also explains special functions through additional one-off examples. Having also read Spring in Action, Spring Live and the Spring Developers Notebook, this is the one to choose.
