Re: [Springframework-developer] New Spring module

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

All,

Thomas has now completed the job and put the code in the existing "Spring"
module. Please work on this by preference.

The snapshot was taken at Aug 13 at 0800 GMT: any changes since to the main
module will need to be manually replicated.

Notes:

- I haven't included the samples. I thought it would be better for JP and
Ken to add these once they're modified. Changing the imports etc is easy
with something like this:

  <replace dir="whatever"  token="com.interface21"
value="org.springframework">
    <exclude name="*.jar"/>
  </replace>

- I haven't migrated /livetest. I really prefer the mock object approach for
database testing. I'd love to test Isabelle's code without needing a
database. Any volunteers??

- I have put in a new /load tree, with the load testing code and some
performance tests for Spring.

- The tests pass, and with debug logging we have 75% coverage!

Btw we should be able to use mock tests to test for different db resource
closure failure scenarios.

Regards,
Rod
