I was just reading a blog where someone mentioned that they couldn't work out a single purpose for Spring. (They were interested in IoC so looked also at PicoContainer.) While the blogger clearly didn't take the time to find out what Spring actually does, I think we should try to think about a slogan or maybe a paragraph that conveys how it all hangs together. It's ironic in that in comparison with something like PicoContainer, which does only a part of what Spring does, Spring can seem to lack focus. Whereas in fact it's a focused solution to meet infrastructure needs of real apps. Some ideas (for concepts not wording): - Spring provides _all_ the infrastructure most projects need - Spring addresses all architectural tiers, whether or not you choose to use EJB Btw my ServerSide article should appear on October 14. I'll confirm closer to the time, so you can watch the thread. Regards, Rod |
