In his talk at the 2009 Jazoon Conference, Juergen Hoeller gives an overview of the Spring 3.0 framework. Spring 3.0 provides comprehensive annotation-based configuration, unified expression language support, REST-enabled web MVC, and early support for Java EE 6. This talk discusses Spring as a modern Java 5 based application framework: covering the core component model, annotation-driven web MVC, as well as platform integration on Java EE 5 and Java EE 6.
