Spring ME; Unleashing Spring to the Rest of the Platform

Omschrijving:
Spring is omnipresent, but not really. Until recently Spring was pretty much restricted to Java™ platforms supporting reflection. That  basically ruled out Java™ Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME platform),  Google Web Toolkit (GWT), and a couple of other platforms.

This presentation discusses Spring ME (http://springframework.me/). ME  not only because it runs on the Java ME platform but also because it really is a microscopic implementation of Spring. In fact, the size of the runtime required is exactly 0 bytes.

The session explains Spring ME, talks about the differences with classic Spring, and discusses its strengths and limitations. Expect the session to be sprinkled with Java ME Platform and Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE platform), JavaCard (?) and GWT demos.
