Around the World in Java: Deconstructing Spring myths - 0 views

  • the glory of Spring's founding myth of killing the beast that was J2EE seems to be fading. The former beast is now as manageable and easy to use as Spring ever was, or even more so
  • Deconstructing Spring myths
  • looking at the capabilities of the Spring Framework itself, where are the killer features?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • list of reasons why I feel more productive on Java EE 6 than on Spring 3.1
  • these days there's really no reason for preferring vendor-specific APIs over JPA 2.0
  • Spring and Java EE applications mostly differ in the following areas only: the web framework (Spring MVC vs. JSF vs. Wicket vs. Vaadin vs. Struts vs.....) Spring Beans vs. EJB Spring Dependency Injection vs. CDI or Java EE 5 @EJB or @Resource injection
  • Spring MVC feels rather old-school

Article Series: Migrating Spring Applications to Java EE 6 - Part 1 | How to JBoss - 1 views

  • In fact people still love those books without realizing that the world has changed dramatically ever since
  • The reality check here is to wonder whether the rhetorics set forth by Rod Johnson in his 2003/2004 books are still actual today
  • So if you still care about those books, the best way to show your appreciation is probably to use them as your monitor stand
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • The discussion whether or not to use Spring vs. Java EE for new enterprise Java applications is a no-brainer
  • Why migrate?
  • since then fallen a prey to the hungry minds of Venture Capitalists and finally into the hands of a virtualization company called VMware
  • While the different companies and individuals behind the Spring framework have been doing some work in the JCP their voting behavior on important JSRs is peculiar to say the least
  • outdated ORM solution like JDBC templates
  • some developers completely stopped looking at new developments in the Java EE space and might have lost track of the current state of technology
  • size of the deployment archive
  • fairly standard Java EE 6 application will take up about 100 kilobytes
  • comparable Spring application weighs in at a whopping 30 Megabytes!
  • Lightweight
  • Firing up the latest JBoss AS 7 Application Server from scratch and deploying a full blown Java EE 6 application into the server takes somewhere between two and five seconds on a standard machine. This is in the same league as a Tomcat / Spring combo
  • Dependency injection
  • Java EE 6, the Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) specification was introduced to the Java platform, which has a very powerful contextual DI model adding extensibility of injectable enterprise services
  • Aspect Oriented Programming
  • “AOP Light” and this is exactly what Java EE Interceptors do
  • common pitfall when taking AOP too far is that your code might end up all asymmetric and unreadable. This is due to the fact that the aspect and its implementation are not in the same place. Determining what a piece of code will do at runtime at a glance will be really hard
  • Testing
  • With Arquillian we can get rid of mocking frameworks and test Java EE components in their natural environment

Java EE wins over Spring « Bill the Plumber - 0 views

  • Spring is controlled by ONE COMPANY. It is not an independent open source organization like Apache. At least with Java EE there are multiple OPEN SOURCE implementations. How long before VMWare decides its $500 million investment needs to be recouped and they start charging for Spring in a big way? Don’t think it can happen? Think again…VMWare is in the same poor position BEA/WLS was against JBoss with Red Hat’s VM/Cloud tech eating away at VMWare’s margins. There is a much higher chance of them scrambling for revenue sources than Red hat ever being acquired by Oracle.

  • if you’ve heard Rod Johnson speak he is always adamant that Spring has replaced Java EE. Its good to see that his rhetoric is utter BS!
  • Sorry, even Spring MVC sucks as much balls as JSF does.
  • Java EE wins over Spring
  • CDI closed API hole
  • Application server started to get their act together with regards to boot time.  It started with Glassfish and ended with JBoss 7.  Both of which can boot in a matter of seconds.
  • Arquillian allows you to run your unit tests in a real environment with real transactions, etc.  Personally I always despised mocks because they didn’t test in the environment you were going to run in.  I thought they were pointless and to this day, I refuse to use this testing pattern.
  • I’m glad Rod and company were able to cash out with the VMWare acquisition before Java EE was able to regain its dominance
  • SpringSource pushed Java EE to innovate and for that I’m very grateful.  For Java EE, it was either evolve or die.  They evolved, now its time for Spring to die.
