Problems
- Eliminate — in favor of —
— was causing 'no such entity' errors during docbook
processing; — produces the equivalent output.
- Fix column issues in appendices
column counts were set to 3, when they are in fact 4. This passed
under DocBook 4 and Spring Build for unknown reasons, but caused a
hard stop under DocBook 5 and the docbook-reference-plugin.
- Add jdbc callout section in docbook 5-friendly style
use <co/> tags as advertised in DocBook documentation.
- Set correct widths for PDF ref doc images
images were rendering larger than the PDF page; just set all to
width=400 and everything looks good.
Polish
- Update reference doc copyright to 2012
- Remove "work-in-progress" language from ref docs
- Update maven URLs to repo.springsource.org
- Update javadoc urls from 3.0.x/javadoc-api => current/api
- Replace hardcoded "3.1" with ${version} in ref doc
Spring Framework
The Spring Framework provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform. A key element of Spring is infrastructural support at the application level: Spring focuses on the "plumbing" of enterprise applications so that teams can focus on application-level business logic, without unnecessary ties to specific deployment environments.
The framework also serves as the foundation for Spring Integration, Spring Batch and the rest of the Spring family of projects. Browse the repositories under the SpringSource organization on GitHub for a full list.
.NET and Python variants are available as well.
