<title>Dependency Management and Naming Conventions</title>
<para>Dependency management and dependency injection are different
things. To get those nice features of Spring into your application (like
dependency injection) you need to assemble all the libraries needed (jar
files) and get them onto your classpath at runtime, and possibly at
compile time. These dependencies are not virtual components that are
injected, but physical resources in a file system (typically). The
process of dependency management involves locating those resources,
storing them and adding them to classpaths. Dependencies can be direct
(e.g. my application depends on Spring at runtime), or indirect (e.g. my
application depends on <code>commons-dbcp</code> which depends on
<code>commons-pool</code>). The indirect dependencies are also known as
"transitive" and it is those dependencies that are hardest to identify
and manage.</para>
<para>If you are going to use Spring you need to get a copy of the jar
libraries that comprise the pieces of Spring that you need. To make this
easier Spring is packaged as a set of modules that separate the
dependencies as much as possible, so for example if you don't want to
write a web application you don't need the spring-web modules. To refer
to Spring library modules in this guide we use a shorthand naming
convention <code>spring-*</code> or <code>spring-*.jar,</code> where "*"
represents shot name for the module (e.g. <code>spring-core</code>,
<code>spring-webmvc</code>, <code>spring-jms</code>, etc.). The actual
jar file name that you use may be in this form (see below) or it may
not, and normally it also has a version number in the file name (e.g.
<code>spring-core-3.0.0.RELEASE.jar</code>).</para>
<para>In general, Spring publishes its artifacts to four different
places:<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>On the community download site <ulink
url="http://www.springsource.org/downloads/community">http://www.springsource.org/downloads/community</ulink>.
Here you find all the Spring jars bundled together into a zip file
for easy download. The names of the jars here since version 3.0
are in the form
<code>org.springframework.*-&lt;version&gt;.jar</code>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Maven Central, which is the default repository that Maven
queries, and does not require any special configuration to use.
Many of the common libraries that Spring depends on also are
available from Maven Central and a large section of the Spring
community uses Maven for dependency management, so this is
convenient for them. The names of the jars here are in the form
<code>spring-*-&lt;version&gt;.jar</code> and the Maven groupId is
<code>org.springframework</code>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The Enterprise Bundle Repository (EBR), which is run by
SpringSource and also hosts all the libraries that integrate with
Spring. Both Maven and Ivy repositories are available here for all
Spring jars and their dependencies, plus a large number of other
common libraries that people use in applications with Spring. Both
full releases and also milestones and development snapshots are
deployed here. The names of the jar files are in the same form as
the community download
(<code>org.springframework.*-&lt;version&gt;.jar</code>), and the
dependencies are also in this "long" form, with external libraries
(not from SpringSource) having the prefix
<code>com.springsource</code>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>In a public Maven repository hosted on Amazon S3 for
development snapshots and milestone releases (a copy of the final
releases is also held here). The jar file names are in the same
form as Maven Central, so this is a useful place to get
development versions of Spring to use with other libraries depoyed
in Maven Central.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para>So the first thing you need to decide is how to manage your
dependencies: most people use an automated system like Maven or Ivy, but
you can also do it manually by downloading all the jars yourself. When
obtaining Spring with Maven or Ivy you have then to decide which place
you'll get it from. In general, if you care about OSGi, use the EBR,
since it houses OSGi compatible artifacts for all of Spring's
dependencies, such as Hibernate and Freemarker. If OSGi does not matter
to you, either place works, though there are some pros and cons between
them. In general, pick one place or the other for your project; do not
mix them. This is particularly important since EBR artifacts necessarily
use a different naming convention than Maven Central artifacts.</para>

<title>Spring Dependencies and Depending on Spring</title>
<para>Although Spring provides integration and support for a huge
range of enterprise and other external tools, it intentionally keeps
its mandatory dependencies to an absolute minimum: you shouldn't have
to locate and download (even automatically) a large number of jar
libraries in order to use Spring for simple use cases. For basic
dependency injection there is only one mandatory external dependency,
and that is for logging (see below for a more detailed description of
logging options). If you are using Maven for dependency management you
don't even need to supply the logging dependency explicitly. For
example, to create an application context and use dependency injection
to configure an application, your Maven dependencies will look like
this:</para>
<para><programlisting>&lt;dependencies&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;spring-context&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;3.0.0.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;/dependencies&gt; </programlisting></para>
<para>That's it. Note the scope can be declared as runtime if you
don't need to compile against Spring APIs, which is typically the case
for basic dependency injection use cases.</para>
<para>We used the Maven Central naming conventions in the example
above, so that works with Maven Central or the SpringSource S3 Maven
repository. To use the S3 Maven repository (e.g. for milestones or
developer snaphots), you need to specify the repository location in
your Maven configuration. For full releases:</para>
<programlisting>&lt;repositories&gt;
&lt;repository&gt;
&lt;id&gt;com.springsource.repository.maven.release&lt;/id&gt;
&lt;url&gt;http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven.springsource.com/release/&lt;/url&gt;
&lt;snapshots&gt;&lt;enabled&gt;false&lt;/enabled&gt;&lt;/snapshots&gt;
&lt;/repository&gt;
&lt;/repositories&gt;</programlisting>
<para>For milestones:</para>
<programlisting>&lt;repositories&gt;
&lt;repository&gt;
&lt;id&gt;com.springsource.repository.maven.milestone&lt;/id&gt;
&lt;url&gt;http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven.springsource.com/milestone/&lt;/url&gt;
&lt;snapshots&gt;&lt;enabled&gt;false&lt;/enabled&gt;&lt;/snapshots&gt;
&lt;/repository&gt;
&lt;/repositories&gt;</programlisting>
<para>And for snapshots:</para>
<programlisting>&lt;repositories&gt;
&lt;repository&gt;
&lt;id&gt;com.springsource.repository.maven.snapshot&lt;/id&gt;
&lt;url&gt;http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven.springsource.com/snapshot/&lt;/url&gt;
&lt;snapshots&gt;&lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;&lt;/snapshots&gt;
&lt;/repository&gt;
&lt;/repositories&gt;</programlisting>
<para>To use the SpringSource EBR you would need to use a different
naming convention for the dependencies. The names are usually easy to
guess, e.g. in this case it is:</para>
<programlisting>&lt;dependencies&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;org.springframework.context&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;3.0.0.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;/dependencies&gt;</programlisting>
<para>You also need to declare the location of the repository
explicitly (only the URL is important):</para>
<programlisting>&lt;repositories&gt;
&lt;repository&gt;
&lt;id&gt;com.springsource.repository.bundles.release&lt;/id&gt;
&lt;url&gt;http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release/&lt;/url&gt;
&lt;/repository&gt;
&lt;/repositories&gt;</programlisting>
<para>If you are managing your dependencies by hand, the URL in the
repository declaration above is not browseable, but there is a user
interface at <ulink
url="http://www.springsource.com/repository">http://www.springsource.com/repository</ulink>
that can be used to search for and download dependencies. It also has
handy snippets of Maven and Ivy configuration that you can copy and
paste if you are using those tools.</para>
<para>If you prefer to use <ulink url="http://ant.apache.org/ivy">
Ivy</ulink> to manage dependencies then there are
similar names and configuration options there (refer to the
documentation of your dependency management system, or look at some
sample code - Spring itself uses Ivy to manage dependencies when it is
building).</para>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>Logging</title>
<para>Logging is a very important dependency for Spring because a) it is
the only mandatory external dependency, b) everyone likes to see some
output from the tools they are using, and c) Spring integrates with lots
of other tools all of which have also made a choice of logging
dependency. One of the goals of an application developer is often to
have unified logging configured in a central place for the whole
application, including all external components. This is more difficult
than it might have been since there are so many choices of logging
framework.</para>
<para>The mandatory logging dependency in Spring is the Jakarta Commons
Logging API (JCL). We compile against JCL and we also make JCL
<classname>Log</classname> objects visible for classes that extend the
Spring Framework. It's important to users that all versions of Spring
use the same logging library: migration is easy because backwards
compatibility is preserved even with applications that extend Spring.
The way we do this is to make one of the modules in Spring depend
explicitly on <code>commons-logging</code> (the canonical implementation
of JCL), and then make all the other modules depend on that at compile
time. If you are using Maven for example, and wondering where you picked
up the dependency on <code>commons-logging</code>, then it is from
Spring and specifically from the central module called
<code>spring-core</code>.</para>
<para>The nice thing about <code>commons-logging</code> is that you don't need
anything else to make your application work. It has a runtime discovery
algorithm that looks for other logging frameworks in well known places
on the classpath and uses one that it thinks is appropriate (or you can
tell it which one if you need to). If nothing else is available you get
pretty nice looking logs just from the JDK (java.util.logging or JUL for
short). You should find that your Spring application works and logs
happily to the console out of the box in most situations, and that's
important.</para>
<section>
<title>Not Using Commons Logging</title>
<para>Unfortunately, the worst thing about <code>commons-logging</code>, and what
has made it unpopular with new tools, is also the runtime discovery
algorithm. If we could turn back the clock and start Spring now as a
new project it would use a different logging dependency. Probably the
first choice would be the Simple Logging Framework for Java (<ulink
url="http://www.slf4j.org">SLF4J</ulink>),
which is also used by a lot of other tools
that people use with Spring inside their applications.</para>
<para>To switch off <code>commons-logging</code> is easy: just make sure it isn't
on the classpath at runtime. In Maven terms you exclude the
dependency, and because of the way that the Spring dependencies are
declared, you only have to do that once.</para>
<programlisting>&lt;dependencies&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;spring-context&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;3.0.0.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;exclusions&gt;
&lt;exclusion&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;/exclusion&gt;
&lt;/exclusions&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;/dependencies&gt; </programlisting>
<para>Now this application is probably broken because there is no
implementation of the JCL API on the classpath, so to fix it a new one
has to be prvided. In the next section we show you how to provide an
alternative implementation of JCL using SLF4J as an example.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Using SLF4J</title>
</section>
<para>SLF4J is a cleaner dependency and more efficient at runtime than
<code>commons-logging</code> because it uses compile-time bindings instead of runtime
discovery of the other logging frameworks it integrates. This also means
that you have to be more explicit about what you want to happen at
runtime, and declare it or configure it accordingly. SLF4J provides
bindings to many common logging frameworks, so you can usually choose
one that you already use, and bind to that for configuration and
management.</para>
<para>SLF4J provides bindings to many common logging frameworks,
including JCL, and it also does the reverse: bridges between other
logging frameworks and itself. So to use SLF4J with Spring you need to
replace the <code>commons-logging</code> dependency with the SLF4J-JCL bridge. Once
you have done that then logging calls from within Spring will be
translated into logging calls to the SLF4J API, so if other libraries in
your application use that API, then you have a single place to configure
and manage logging.</para>
<para>A common choice might be to bridge Spring to SLF4J, and then
provide explicit binding from SLF4J to Log4J. You need to supply 4
dependencies (and exclude the existing <code>commons-logging</code>): the bridge, the
SLF4J API, the binding to Log4J, and the Log4J implementation itself. In
Maven you would do that like this</para>
<programlisting>&lt;dependencies&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;spring-context&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;3.0.0.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;exclusions&gt;
&lt;exclusion&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;/exclusion&gt;
&lt;/exclusions&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.slf4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;jcl-slf4j&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;1.5.8&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.slf4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;slf4j-api&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;1.5.8&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.slf4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;slf4j-log4j12&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;1.5.8&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;log4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;log4j&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;1.2.14&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;/dependencies&gt; </programlisting>
<para>That might seem like a lot of dependencies just to get some
logging. Well it is, but it <emphasis>is</emphasis> optional, and it
should behave better than the vanilla <code>commons-logging</code> with
respect to classloader issues, notably if you are in a strict container
like an OSGi platform. Allegedly there is also a performance benefit
because the bindings are at compile-time not runtime.</para>
<para>A more common choice amongst SLF4J users, which uses fewer steps
and generates fewer dependencies, is to bind directly to <ulink type=""
url="http://logback.qos.ch">Logback</ulink>.
This removes the extra binding step because
Logback implements SLF4J directly, so you only need to depend on two
libaries not four (<code>jcl-slf4j</code> and <code>logback</code>). If
you do that you might also need to exlude the slf4j-api dependency from
other external dependencies (not Spring), because you only want one
version of that API on the classpath.</para>
<section>
<title>Using Log4J</title>
<para>Many people use <ulink
url="http://logging.apache.org/log4j">Log4j</ulink> as a logging
framework for configuration and management purposes. It's efficient
and well established, and in fact it's what we use at runtime when we
build and test Spring. Spring also provides some utilities for
configuring and initializing Log4j, so it have an optional compile
time dependency on Log4j in some modules.</para>
<para>To make Log4j work with the default JCL dependency
(<code>commons-logging</code>) all you need to do is put Log4j on the
classpath, and provide it with a configuration file
(<code>log4j.properties</code> or <code>log4j.xml</code> in the root
of the classpath). So for Maven users this is your dependency
declaration:</para>
<programlisting>&lt;dependencies&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;spring-context&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;3.0.0.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;log4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;log4j&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;1.2.14&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;/dependencies&gt; </programlisting>
<para>And here's a sample log4j.properties for logging to the
console:</para>
<programlisting>log4j.rootCategory=INFO, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %t %c{2}:%L - %m%n
log4j.category.org.springframework.beans.factory=DEBUG</programlisting>
<section>
<title>Runtime Containers with Native JCL</title>
<para>Many people run their Spring applications in a container that
itself provides an implementation of JCL. IBM Websphere Application
Server (WAS) is the archetype. This often causes problems, and
unfortunately there is no silver bullet solution; simply excluding
<code>commons-logging</code> from your application is not enough in
most situations.</para>
<para>To be clear about this: the problems reported are usually not
with JCL per se, or even with <code>commons-logging</code>: rather
they are to do with binding <code>commons-logging</code> to another
framework (often Log4J). This can fail because
<code>commons-logging</code> changed the way they do the runtime
discovery in between the older versions (1.0) found in some
containers and the modern versions that most people use now (1.1).
Spring does not use any unusual parts of the JCL API, so nothing
breaks there, but as soon as Spring or your application tries to do
any logging you can find that the bindings to Log4J are not
working.</para>
<para>In such cases with WAS the easiest thing to do is to invert
the class loader hierarchy (IBM calls it "parent last") so that the
application controls the JCL dependency, not the container. That
option isn't always open, but there are plenty of other suggestions
in the public domain for alternative approaches, and your mileage
may vary depending on the exact version and feature set of the
container.</para>

<title>Overview of Spring Framework</title>
<partintro id="spring-core-intro">
<para>The Spring Framework is a lightweight solution and a potential
one-stop-shop for building your enterprise-ready applications. However,
Spring is modular, allowing you to use only those parts that you need,
without having to bring in the rest. You can use the IoC container, with
Struts on top, but you can also use only the <link
linkend="orm-hibernate">Hibernate integration code</link> or the <link
linkend="jdbc-introduction">JDBC abstraction layer</link>. The Spring
Framework supports declarative transaction management, remote access to your
logic through RMI or web services, and various options for persisting your
data. It offers a full-featured <link linkend="mvc-introduction">MVC
framework</link>, and enables you to integrate <link
linkend="aop-introduction">AOP</link> transparently into your
software.</para>
<productname>Spring Framework</productname>
<para>Spring is designed to be non-intrusive, meaning that your domain logic
code generally has no dependencies on the framework itself. In your
integration layer (such as the data access layer), some dependencies on the
data access technology and the Spring libraries will exist. However, it
should be easy to isolate these dependencies from the rest of your code
base.</para>
<releaseinfo>3.0.RC3</releaseinfo>
<para>This document is a reference guide to Spring Framework features. If
you have any requests, comments, or questions on this document, please post

<title>Core Technologies</title>
<partintro id="spring-core-intro">
<para>
This part of the reference documentation covers
all of those technologies that are absolutely integral
to the Spring Framework.
</para>
<para>
Foremost amongst these is the Spring Framework's
Inversion of Control (IoC) container. A thorough treatment
of the Spring Framework's IoC container is closely followed
by comprehensive coverage of Spring's Aspect-Oriented
Programming (AOP) technologies. The Spring Framework has
its own AOP framework, which is conceptually easy to understand,
and which successfully addresses the 80% sweet spot of AOP
requirements in Java enterprise programming.
</para>
<para>
Coverage of Spring's integration with AspectJ (currently
the richest - in terms of features - and certainly most
mature AOP implementation in the Java enterprise space)
is also provided.
</para>
<para>
Finally, the adoption of the test-driven-development (TDD)
approach to software development is certainly advocated by
the Spring team, and so coverage of Spring's support for
integration testing is covered (alongside best practices for
unit testing). The Spring team has found that the correct
use of IoC certainly does make both unit and integration
testing easier (in that the presence of setter methods and
appropriate constructors on classes makes them
easier to wire together in a test without having to set up
service locator registries and suchlike)... the chapter
dedicated solely to testing will hopefully convince you of
this as well.
