Since its inception the Spring Framework has consistently focused on the goal of simplifying enterprise application development while providing powerful, non-invasive solutions to complex problems. With the release of Spring 2.0 just over a year ago, these themes advanced to a new level. XML Schema support and custom namespaces reduce the amount of XML-based configuration. Developers using Java 5 or greater are able to take advantage of Spring libraries that exploit new language features such as generics and annotations. The close integration with AspectJ's expression language enables the non-invasive addition of behavior across well-defined groupings of Spring-managed objects.
