春天有三样东西。

Spring handles Dependency Injection and I recommend you read Martin Fowler's excellent introduction on dependency injection. The second thing Spring does is wrap excellent Java libraries in a very elegant way to use in your applications. For a good example see how Spring wraps Task Executors and Quartz Scheduler. Thirdly Spring provides a bunch of implementations of web stuff like REST, an MVC web framework and more. They figure since you are using Spring for the first two, maybe you can just use it for everything your web app needs.

The problem is that Spring DI is really well thought out, the wrappers around other things are really well thought out in that the other things thought everything out and Spring just nicely wraps it. The Spring implementations of MVC and REST and all the other stuff is not as well done (YMMV, IMHO) but there are exceptions (Spring Security is da bomb). So I tend to use Spring for DI, and its cool wrappers but prefer other stuff for Web (I like Tapestry a lot), REST (Jersey is really robust), etc.

Spring最初是一个相当简单的依赖注入系统。现在它很大，里面什么都有(除了众所周知的厨房水槽)。

但不用担心，它是模块化的，所以你可以只使用你想要的部件。

去看看一切从哪里开始尝试:

http://www.amazon.com/Expert-One-Design-Development-Programmer/dp/0764543857/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246374863&sr=1-1

它可能很旧，但却是一本好书。

关于另一本关于春天的好书，请看:

http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Java-Development-Spring-Framework/dp/0764574833/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246374863&sr=1-2

它还引用了较老版本的Spring，但绝对值得一看。

春天是用来干什么的?我会简短地回答这个问题，但首先，让我们再看看维克多·雨果的例子。这不是一个很好的例子，因为它没有证明需要一个新的框架。

public class BaseView {
  protected UserLister userLister;

  public BaseView() {
    userLister = new UserListerDB(); // only line of code that needs changing
  }
}

public class SomeView extends BaseView {
  public SomeView() {
    super();
  }

  public void render() {
    List<User> users = userLister.getUsers();
    view.render(users);
  }
}

完成了!因此，现在即使您有数百或数千个视图，您仍然只需要更改一行代码，就像Spring XML方法中那样。 但是更改一行代码仍然需要重新编译，而不是编辑XML。好吧，我的挑剔的朋友，使用Ant和脚本!

那么春天是用来干什么的呢?这是为:

盲目的开发者随大流 雇主不想雇佣毕业的程序员，因为他们在大学里没有教过这样的框架 从一个糟糕的设计开始，需要修补的项目(如维克多·雨果的例子所示)

春天有三样东西。

Spring handles Dependency Injection and I recommend you read Martin Fowler's excellent introduction on dependency injection. The second thing Spring does is wrap excellent Java libraries in a very elegant way to use in your applications. For a good example see how Spring wraps Task Executors and Quartz Scheduler. Thirdly Spring provides a bunch of implementations of web stuff like REST, an MVC web framework and more. They figure since you are using Spring for the first two, maybe you can just use it for everything your web app needs.

The problem is that Spring DI is really well thought out, the wrappers around other things are really well thought out in that the other things thought everything out and Spring just nicely wraps it. The Spring implementations of MVC and REST and all the other stuff is not as well done (YMMV, IMHO) but there are exceptions (Spring Security is da bomb). So I tend to use Spring for DI, and its cool wrappers but prefer other stuff for Web (I like Tapestry a lot), REST (Jersey is really robust), etc.

过去，我从纯技术的角度考虑Spring框架。

根据一些团队工作和开发企业web应用程序的经验，我会说Spring通过解耦各个元素(bean)来实现更快的应用程序(web应用程序)开发。更快的发展使它如此受欢迎。Spring允许将构建(连接)应用程序的责任转移到Spring框架上。Spring框架的依赖注入负责将单个bean连接/连接到工作应用程序中。

这样，一旦定义了bean之间的接口，开发人员就可以更专注于单个组件(bean)的开发。

测试这样的应用程序很容易——主要的关注点是单个bean。它们可以很容易地解耦和模拟，因此单元测试是快速和有效的。

Spring框架定义了多个专门的bean，如@Controller (@Restcontroller)、@Repository、@Component来服务于web目的。Spring和Maven一起提供了一个对开发人员来说很直观的结构。 团队工作简单快捷，因为单独的元素是分开的，可以重复使用。

其优点是依赖注入(DI)。这意味着将对象创建任务外包出去。让我用一个例子来解释。

public interface Lunch
{
   public void eat();
}

public class Buffet implements Lunch
{
   public void eat()
   {
      // Eat as much as you can 
   }
}

public class Plated implements Lunch
{
   public void eat()
   {
      // Eat a limited portion
   }
}

现在在我的代码中，我有一个类LunchDecide，如下所示:

public class LunchDecide {
    private Lunch todaysLunch;
    public LunchDecide(){
        this.todaysLunch = new Buffet(); // choose Buffet -> eat as much as you want
        //this.todaysLunch = new Plated(); // choose Plated -> eat a limited portion 
    }
}

在上面的类中，根据心情选择Buffet()或Plated()。但是这个系统是紧密耦合的。每次需要不同类型的对象时，我们都需要更改代码。在本例中，注释掉一行!假设有50个不同的人使用50个不同的类。那会是一团乱麻。在这种情况下，我们需要解耦系统。让我们重写LunchDecide类。

public class LunchDecide {
    private Lunch todaysLunch;
    public LunchDecide(Lunch todaysLunch){
        this.todaysLunch = todaysLunch
        }
    }

Notice that instead of creating an object using new keyword we passed the reference to an object of Lunch Type as a parameter to our constructor. Here, object creation is outsourced. This code can be wired either using Xml config file (legacy) or Java Annotations (modern). Either way, the decision on which Type of object would be created would be done there during runtime. An object would be injected by Xml into our code - Our Code is dependent on Xml for that job. Hence, Dependency Injection (DI). DI not only helps in making our system loosely coupled, it simplifies writing of Unit tests since it allows dependencies to be mocked. Last but not the least, DI streamlines Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) which leads to further decoupling and increase of modularity. Also note that above DI is Constructor Injection. DI can be done by Setter Injection as well - same plain old setter method from encapsulation.
