Spring Framework
The Spring Framework is the ubiquitous full-stack Java / Java EE application framework. With 99.5% of Spring's code written by SpringSource employees, Spring delivers significant benefits for many projects, increasing development productivity and runtime performance while improving test coverage and application quality and maintainability.
Spring is a lightweight Java/J2EE application framework based on code published in "Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development" by Rod Johnson. It includes powerful JavaBeans-based configuration management applying Inversion-of-Control principles, a generic abstraction layer for transaction management allowing for pluggable transaction managers, a JDBC abstraction layer, integration with Hibernate, JDO, Apache OJB, and iBATIS SQL Maps, AOP functionality, and a flexible MVC Web application framework with multiple view technologies.
