Spring Framework Training Objectives

Understand the scope, purpose, and architecture of Spring
Use Spring's Inversion of Control to declare application components, rather than hard-coding their states and lifecycles
Use Dependency Injection to further control object relationships from outside the Java code base
Create validators for business objects, and associate them for application-level and unit-testing uses
Build a Web application as a Spring DispatcherServlet and associated application context, with declared beans acting as controllers, command objects, and view resolvers [4-day class only]
Build and manage HTML forms with Spring command objects and custom tags [4-day class only]
Use Spring interceptors to implement horizontal features in the Web application [4-day class only]
Connect business objects to persistent stores using Spring's DAO and ORM modules
