Spring Framework

SpringSourceThe new standard for business critical Java applications

Ever since 1997 Java, and in particular Java 2 Enterprise Edition (Java EE), quickly has become an important standard for business critical applications. In 2002 an extra de facto standard has been added: Spring Framework. It allows us to serve you even better, with lower costs.

Spring Framework is an open source software development framework. In fact it is a programming model running on top of good old Java EE (or other platforms). It adds a number of important advantages to Java EE, though. Performance, for example, has been improved for large numbers of records, and it is easier to (automatically) test the business logic.

Faster, better and cheaper

Spring Framework effectively enforces certain development decisions, and as a result the application structure is enhanced. Business logic, for example, is not included in Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), because these can hardly be (automatically) tested, and always need a database connection. The effect of these principles in Spring is that applications in Java EE can be built much more efficiently and can be tested far more thoroughly. The final application is also much faster. In addition, the modular structure allows the developer to choose what he uses in which application: he can use best practice for each situation. We will spare you the details, but it all adds up to the fact that we can offer higher quality in less time to our customers. Which saves you money.

Keep your investment

Another advantage, at least as important in the long run, is implementation independency: new technologies can easily be applied within the framework. Your business logic and program code investment therefore remains preserved. It also improves maintainability and testability.

High quality

Nowadays two-thirds of all companies, including Qualogy, choose Spring Framework to develop Java Enterprise Applications. The product has passed the five million downloads limit, has the largest market share of all Java Application Servers, and is used by 64% of all larger corporations. The high quality of the development environment is an important contributing factor. Also companies like Oracle have integrated their products with Spring.
