Scope of Spring Frameworks
Spring Framework is an open source framework which can be used to develop Java applications with very easily and with a rapid pace. It is a very lightweight framework which provides all well-defined infrastructure support for developing Java applications. Spring Frameworks introduces lots of features for user application development. The Scope of Spring Frameworks is as follows:
Spring Framework helps the developers to develop enterprise applications. It uses POJO (Plain Old Java Object). The use of POJO class helps you get rid of conventional Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) by letting, you can use a robust servlet container (i.e, Tomcat).
Spring supports the use of both XML as well as Java-based annotation configurationfor configuring the Spring Beans. So it’s the programmers flexibility to configure spring, using any of them.
Spring Framework can be activated without the use of the web server or application server i.e, No Need Server.
The Spring Framework provides modularity to the application developers. It helps them to choose which packages or classes can be used or ignored from lots of packages or classes.
Spring Dependency injection helps to make testability much easier. It simplifies the injection of test data with the use of POJO classes.
Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) allows a developer to have a different compilation unit as well as separate class loader. It uses the Inversion of Control (IoC) for dependency injection.
Spring has well designed MVC framework which provides a great alternative solution to a legacy web framework. It makes the developers more flexible for web programming.
Developers need not have to learn all those technologies, like JDK Timers or frameworks like ORM Frameworks, JAVA EE and etc. in order to develop applications. So that developers can take maximum advantage of Spring Frameworks i.e, No Need to Reinvent.
Spring Framework provides Inversion of Control (IoC) and APIs to translate exceptions thrown by Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC).
Spring Framework provides consistency in the transaction, using consistent transaction management interface. Spring Framework can easily scale up or down the local as well as global transactions using JTA.
