19 Dec 2006 This final installment wraps up the five-part tutorial series by introducing you to the Spring Framework. Learn to integrate your Java™Server Faces (JSF) applications with Spring, a popular framework that makes it easier for Apache Geronimo developers to build Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications. You'll use Spring to continue developing the front end for the example Developer Forum Signup application.
Objectives
Get an introduction to the Spring Framework, and learn how to incorporate it into your JSF application.
Prerequisites
None.
System requirements
You need the following tools to follow along with this tutorial:
- Geronimo, Apache's Java EE server project. Geronimo comes in Tomcat and Jetty flavors, depending on your needs. We used the Jetty flavor (version 1.1) because it's smaller.
- MyFaces, Apache's JSF implementation. Download the core version (without Tomcat) from Apache.
- Spring Framework, a powerful application framework that can be integrated with existing Web applications.
- Eclipse, the extensible open source IDE that supports a wide range of languages and platforms.
- Eclipse Web Tools Platform, which adds support for XML and JavaScript editing as well as preliminary JSF support to Eclipse.
- Java 1.4 or newer installed on your system. Eclipse binaries come with their own Java run time, but Geronimo and MyFaces don't (that would seriously bloat up the download archives). I'll be using Java 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.4, but it shouldn't make much of a difference.
