Spring Roo in Action

DESCRIPTION

Roo is a lightweight Java development tool that works within existing

processes, to rapidly produce high-quality, 100% Java code. Roo

enforces correct coding practices and patterns and instantly integrates

not only with Spring, but also with virtually every mainstream Java

technology.

Roo in Action is unique book that teaches how to code Java in Roo,

with a particular focus on Spring-based applications. It starts by getting

into the Roo mindset, along with a quick-and-dirty guide to setting up

Roo effectively. Through hands-on examples, readers will learn how

Roo creates well-formed application structures and supports best

practices and tools. The book then goes beyond the basics to important

topics like integrating security, messaging, advanced user interface

tools and cloud computing. Finally, readers learn how to integrate Roo

more tightly with existing Spring projects and to create and deploy

custom Roo add-ons.
