Spring Boot
From My Limbic Wiki
- if Spring MVC need configuration ? Spring Boot does it.
- Other jars needed to develop web applications ? there are starters allowing to easily build application
- Monitoring, and developer friendly tools
- Good integration with embeded servers: No need to develop a WAR file always, it is possible to develop a JAR and directly run it cause the Tomcat server is directly inside the JAR.

What's new
Come with:
- Autoconfiguration
- Previously (Spring_MVC) Bean, Resources, Servlet, View Resolver configuration
- Starters (Spring boot starter web ...)
- Bring all the dependencis required to build web applications
Mock - Dependency Injection
@Component public class WelcomeService { //Bla Bla Bla } @RestController public class WelcomeController { @Autowired private WelcomeService service; @RequestMapping("/welcome") public String welcome() { return service.retrieveWelcomeMessage(); } }
