THE SPRING.NET FRAMEWORK

http://www.springframework.net/

INTRODUCTION

Spring.NET contains:

A full featured Inversion of Control container
An Aspect Oriented Programming framework
Expression Language for lightweight scripting
UI-agnostic validation framework
ASP.NET Framework
- Dependency Injection for pages and user controls, bi-directional data binding, and more.
ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET WebAPI Framework
- Dependency Injection for MVC (includin WebAPI).
Declarative transaction management abstraction
- Declarative transaction management via use of common XML configuration and attributes across different transaction APIs
ADO.NET framework
- Simplifies use of ADO.NET. DAO support classes and integration with Spring's declarative transaction management functionality
Portable Service Abstractions
- Export plain .NET objects via .NET Remoting, Web Service or .NET Serviced Component and create client side proxies based on endpoint URL and service interface.
NHibernate Integation
- NHibernate 5 integration to simplify use of NHibernate and participate in Spring's declarative transaction management functionality.
ASP.NET AJAX Integration
- Exporter to expose plain object on which Dependency Injection and AOP have been applied to JavaScript.
NUnit and MSTest integration
- Provides Dependency Injection of test cases and Spring container loading and caching. . Data access and transaction management features aid with integration testing.
WCF integration
- Provides Dependency Injection and applicatin of AOP advice to WCF services
Quartz integration
- Configure Quartz jobs using dependency injection and Spring's transactional support to persist job details
MSMQ integration
- Simplifies the use MSMQ by providing helper classes for message sending and receiving. Integrates with Spring's transaction management features.
NMS integration
- Simplifies the use of NMS by providing helper classes for message sending and receiving.
TIBCO EMS integration
- Simplifies the use of TIBCO EMS by providing helper classes for message sending and receiving.
NVelocity integration
- Simplifies the use of configuring NVelocity

Spring.NET is a port of the Java based Spring Framework. In turn, the Java/J2EE Spring Framework is based on code published in "Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development" by Rod Johnson (Wrox, 2002).

SUPPORTED .NET FRAMEWORK VERSIONS

Spring.NET 3.0.0 supports .NET 4.6.2 and .NET Standard 2.0 and later.
