• • Streamlining runaway code with JDBC templates
  • Structuring queries and callbacks for maintainability

Abstracting the Data Access Layer

• • Supporting the Data Access Object (DAO) pattern
  • Achieving implementation independence with platform agnostic exceptions

Managing transactions

• • Analyzing Java EE transaction support
  • Controlling transactions with Spring transaction manager
  • Declaring transaction policies with XML and annotations
  • Building a Web Tier with Spring MVC

Processing web requests

• • Analyzing Spring MVC architecture
  • Mapping requests to controllers with annotations
