Spring is the leading full-stack Java/Java EE application framework, designed to address the complexity of enterprise application development. Spring makes Java EE easier to use, and also promotes good programming practice. Spring takes best-practice, proven design patterns and codifies them into usable, first-class objects that an architect or developer can effectively use in their applications.

Spring Framework’s business value lies in its features and ease of use. Spring offers:

• The most complete lightweight container
• A common abstraction layer for transaction management
• A JDBC abstraction layer
• Integration with the leading ORM/Data-access frameworks (Toplink, Hibernate, JDO, and iBATIS SQL Maps)
• Aspect oriented programming functionality
• A flexible MVC web application framework

Credera has effectively used the Spring Framework on projects for numerous clients. We’ve used components in the Spring Framework to deliver high-quality, loosely coupled, testable code that’s easy to maintain.

As a Premier System Integrator business partner with SpringSource (the creators of the Spring Framework), we’ve committed to using Spring wherever it’s appropriate. We also lead Spring-focused user groups to promote the framework in the development community.
