Watch Rob Harrop and Juergen Holler on Spring 2.
The interview also discusses best practices for using Spring on large scale projects, common pitfalls and solutions people find when using Spring, and the top two features most people don't know about Spring, as well as Spring MVC vs. other frameworks.
The additional changes to Spring 2 since this interview was recorded in Dec 2005 have been covered in InfoQ's Spring 2 Update. The new features include: asynchronous JMS capabilities, JPA support, the new JSP form tag library, and OSGi integration.
Juergen Hoeller is co-founder of the Spring project and has been the most active Spring developer since the open source project began. Rob Harrop has been a core developer of the Spring Framework since June 2004 and currently leads the JMX and AOP efforts as well as the Spring Modules project.
Both will be speaking at The Spring Experience in Miami this December. Spring 2 is set to finally release this tuesday.
