Spring.NET team is pleased to announce the release of Spring.NET
1.1 RC2 (Release Candidate 2). This primarily a bug fix
release. The following small improvements have been made
Note:
A bug in the
dbproviders.xml file was discovered shortly after the initial release
of 1.1 RC2. A new version (.msi and .zip) was uploaded to
SourceForge with the same name. This should not present a
problem
unless you are creating an OracleODP-2.0 provider. If so,
please
download again. Files were updated as of 10/16 1:15 PM EST
and it
may take up to 24 hours for all proxy servers to be updated.

CONFERENCE:
Rod Johnson and Mark Pollack will be presenting on Spring.NET at Tech-Ed
2007, June 4-8 in Orlando Florida. The times and
abstracts are
Understanding Spring .NET. 6/7
4:30PM-5:45PM
While Java developers have been benefiting from the technologies in the
Spring framework for years, many of these concepts are not specific to
the Java world and have wider applicability across the enterprise
development space. Features such as Dependency Injection, AOP and
consistent data access abstractions are gaining traction on other
platforms including Microsoft .NET, led in large part by the Spring.NET
project. Spring.NET is an application framework that can be leveraged
in any .NET application. The main goal of Spring.NET is to help
developers create applications that are more flexible and significantly
easier to maintain in less time. This goal is achieved through a number
of subframeworks that provide solutions and/or higher-level
abstractions for various application infrastructure components. This
session introduces the concepts behind the Spring.NET framework with a
focus on the benefits it offers for enterprise applications.
Aspect-Oriented Programming in the Enterprise. 6/8/
10:45AM-12:00PM.
Wouldn't it be good if we could always implement requirements using the
vocabulary in which we naturally talk about them? Wouldn't it be good
if we could banish cut-and-paste coding and implement each requirement
in a single code module? Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) provides the
necessary abstractions that complement traditional object oriented
programming to simplify the implementation of many common enterprise
application requirements. Requirements related to transactions,
security, or caching are among those particularly well suited to an
elegant solution using AOP. In this session Rod Johnson and Mark
Pollack will describe the place of AOP in the construction of
enterprise applications, without buzzwords. Using a practical,
example-driven approach, attendees will lean the basic concepts of AOP
and what AOP can do for you right in the construction of real-world
enterprise applications. The way you think about software may never be
the same again...
Hope to see you there!

bi-directional databinding, data validation, and master page support
for .NET 1.1
- Spring "Services"
allowing plain .NET objects to be exported as ServicedComponents,
Remoted objects, or Web Service. Exported objects can be configured
using Dependency Injection and have AOP aspects applied.
- Transaction management
abstraction supporting programmatic and declarative transactions for
any persistence technology.
- ADO.NET data access
framework.
- Significantly improved
expression language and data binding framework
- AOP support for classes
with virtual methods.
