This book combines the Java EE design patterns with the Spring Framework. The Java EE design pattern catalog provides an invaluable reference for any Java EE application design and architecture. The Spring Framework, on the other hand, is the de facto standard for Java EE. Spring, with its inherently simple programming model and emphasis on object design best practices, has helped revive and increase the adoption of the Java EE platform.

I have been using the Spring Framework in combination with design patterns to build Java EE applications for a long time now. This book is an effort to document a catalog of frequently used design strategies with the Spring Framework, which is relevant in the context of the latest Java 5 EE specifications. I am sure this book will be a reference for designers and developers who are interested in building enterprise applications with Java EE and the Spring Framework.
