A story about the last time I consumed this — 2 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
The Spring framework was interesting at the time I read it.
Since then, EJB 3.0 has come out. Ditto for JDK 1.5, which introduces annotations – a one-stop way to do configuration that beats XML in many ways.
The Spring framework seems slightly less relevant now that these two vital Java things are out.
