Portability, Fish and Chips
It's been great to hear so much discussion on the SpringSource Application Platform, online and on the floor here at JavaOne. One of the most insightful comments is from WebSphere transaction architect Ian Robinson:
Does any of this affect WebSphere? Well, nothing has changed in the core Spring framework. Regardless of what the future holds for the SpringSource Application Platform, the core Spring framework project remains complimentary to WebSphere. Like fish and chips.
Ian is exactly right. The SpringSource Application Platform is another choice for Spring deployment. Nothing has changed in the Spring Framework and Portfolio itself, which remains committed to portability. We look forward to continuing our work with folk like Ian to ensure the optimal experience in running Spring on WebSphere and every other popular platform.
A short blog today. I'm off to give my repeat presentation on Spring 2.5 New and Notable–which unfortunately clashs with Ben Alex's session on Addressing Tomorrow's Security Requirements in Enterprise Applications. When I finish presenting at 5, it will have been a long–but good–week at Moscone…
