Abstract
The Spring Framework is an open source application framework written in Java, which supports Java 1.3 and later. It makes building business applications with Java much easier compared with using the classic Java frameworks and application programming interfaces (APIs), such as Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and JavaServer Pages (JSP). Since its introduction, the Spring Framework has significantly improved the way people design and implement business applications by incorporating best-practice methodologies and simplifying development.
