I just finished reading the Spring Framework tutorial,
by Thomas Risberg. Boy, this guy knows how to write a tutorial. I'll
keep an eye on him, because his work in this tutorial is pure gold.
Thanks a lot for the link, Chiara! :)
Back to the point: Spring looks like a materialization of what one
would dream when doing web stuff with Struts. Incredibly
flexible, modular and Just Works (tm). I loved the ability to
mess around with bean properties in the XML configuration -- if you
think about it, it's the easiest way to configure your project to
different scenarios. Take a look at the maximum/minimum price increase
configuration Thomas does in the tutorial, and you'll see what I'm
talking about.
I'll take some time to look at Spring and all the things beyond the
tutorial, and try to compare it with WebWork2. It's going to be a tuff
battle, I assure :)
