<title>Overview of Spring Framework</title>

<para>The Spring Framework is a lightweight solution and a potential
one-stop-shop for building your enterprise-ready applications. However,
Spring is modular, allowing you to use only those parts that you need,
without having to bring in the rest. You can use the IoC container, with
Struts on top, but you can also use only the <link
linkend="orm-hibernate">Hibernate integration code</link> or the <link
linkend="jdbc-introduction">JDBC abstraction layer</link>. The Spring
Framework supports declarative transaction management, remote access to your
logic through RMI or web services, and various options for persisting your
data. It offers a full-featured <link linkend="mvc-introduction">MVC
framework</link>, and enables you to integrate <link
linkend="aop-introduction">AOP</link> transparently into your
software.</para>
<para>Spring is designed to be non-intrusive, meaning that your domain logic
code generally has no dependencies on the framework itself. In your
integration layer (such as the data access layer), some dependencies on the
data access technology and the Spring libraries will exist. However, it
should be easy to isolate these dependencies from the rest of your code
base.</para>
