If I currently would have to build a Java web application, I would probably connected with the Spring Framework to implement. In the context of Jax 2010 Jürgen Höller (one of the chief developers of Spring) a review, an inventory and an outlook given in Spring.
After playing and playing Spring, like many other frameworks, and alternative technologies (such as SWT and GWT), in his view, particularly in the role as a platform and standards, "enabler" a major role. , Means that frameworks are more innovative and higher release cycles have as standards such as JPA. Rather, they offer even the possibility of integrating new standards in existing environments.So it is possible to develop with Spring 3.0 applications using standards such as JPA 2.0 or JSF 2.0 and still on older JBoss, Websphere or Tomcat can even run installations.
This integrative role is, according to Juergen Hoeller continue to determine the path of Spring. Here for June / July 2010, version 3.1, and in 2011 the version 3.2 are provided. This will be like in the past by Milestone releases always kept close to the latest versions of the standards or are even one step ahead.

Hi Gero,
even if the lead developer "writes good code like hell, his name Jürgen>> Hoeller <<, http://www.springsource.com/people/jhoeller
Otherwise: The learning curve is steep at Spring: You have to learn not only how to use Spring useful, but the concepts behind the problems to be solved with Spring.
Fortunately, Spring is now available Roo ( http://www.springsource.org/roo ), the newcomers such thing as an extensible architectural blueprint offers.
If you think seriously of Spring, that would be a recommendation.
Greetings

Hell, hell, if you do not even pay attention. The course means Jürgen Höller. Thanks Karsten.
Code generation is in my view, a nice support if you know what one is generated as Sun Otherwise, subsequent adjustments are extremely difficult.
My suggestion for people who want to see Spring again is that they choose a module of Spring (eg Spring MVC) and build a demo or integrate it into their own application.
So one can with the salami tactics (piece by piece) Spring open up and take advantage of this framework.
