Topic: Introduction to Spring Web Flow
Speaker: Scott Centille
Sponsor:Teksystems

Spring Web Flow is a core module of the Spring Framework that is a strong fit for web applications with demanding page flow requirements. The system lets you capture a logical page flow as a self-contained module that can be reused in different situations in a consistent fashion. The system is ideal for web applications that execute business processes over a series of steps spanning HTTP requests, and those demanding wizards, dynamic flows, and/or flows whose executions need to be audited or annotated. The system exists at a higher-level of abstraction, building on base Model 2 frameworks like Struts and Spring MVC, capturing your application's page flow explicity in a declarative fashion.

In the presentation, we will discuss the following:

• What is Spring Web Flow?
• Why consider using it?
• Architectural Overview, i.e. how does it work?
• How to integrate it into your existing web applications, e.g. Struts or Spring Web MVC.
