Spring Introduction
Spring Framework is a Java platform that provides comprehensive infrastructure
support for developing Java applications. Spring handles the infrastructure so you can
focus on your application.
Spring enables you to build applications from “plain old Java objects” (POJOs) and to
apply enterprise services non-invasively to POJOs. This capability applies to the Java
SE programming model and to full and partial Java EE.
