[Springframework-developer] docs & tutorial

[Isabelle M. <met...@pa...>]

Hi everyone,

Rod's ideas are fine by me.

(1) create a new module in cvs called samples, at the same level as main (I don't think I have the privileges to do that, so I hereby delegate this task)
(2) we should have separate examples for each area; so for ex. some jdbc examples, some jndi examples etc... Everyone should send me whatever they have (maybe the stuff they used for testing, playing etc..). I will collate and create examples where they are lacking. If I get into trouble (for ex. with the AOP stuff, which I haven't looked at yet) I will ask for help.
(3) everyone should send me some documentation on what they did. Together with Rod's book, this will hopefully be enough to put together the 1.0 docs
(4) we should also have an end-to-end application with maybe a tutorial. I did not like the example app in Rod's book very much, I felt the business logic obscured the point here and there and something simpler would have come across better. Maybe we could do a bookstore with
a) entry screen with promotions, a list of categories to browse and a search button
(b) the search button offers a screen where one can fill in either author, title or keywords 
(c) in each category a list of books with author, title, etc... and the possibility to purchase
(d) a shopping cart
(e) a checkout screen

If everybody agrees with this idea for the tutorial, I will create the database design and UML model, and we can apportion the work from there
