[Springframework-developer] Re: [Springframework-user] Release plan for 1.0 M2 and beyond

Juergen,

Release schedule looks good.

I have an additional feature planned - maybe for M3.  It is a DataSource wrapper
with callbacks that would be called just before the getConnection() returns the
connection to the JDBCTemplate and before close() is called on the connection. 
This would allow you to prepare and un-prepare the connection with custom
database calls.  I would use this internally to pass in a web app login user
name and then have triggers use this name instead of the user name used for the
JDBC pool in audit logs and updated_by columns.

I'm looking forward to this - the Spring/Hibernate combo seems to generate a lot
of interest.

Yes we need much more in this area.  I have started working on a basic Spring
JDBC tutorial.  Also thinking about creating a Spring/Hibernate extension to
the MVC Step-by-Step guide.

I think we minimally need tutorials in the following areas:
- Spring IoC - Beans, BeanFactories and ApplicationContexts
- Spring JDBC (I volunteer for this one)
- Spring AOP
- Spring MVC
