Introduction
The Spring Configurator is a useful component providing support in common configuration issues when using the Spring framework. Although this product has been developed inside the Cocoon project, it is aimed at making easier the usage of Spring in each and every web application; it is not tied to the famous Cocoon web application framework and can be used standalone. The impact on your code is nearly zero and the Spring Configurator as only Spring itself as a dependency.
Motivation
When using a framework like Spring there are always the same problems to solve, like
- Where do I store my bean configurations?
- How can I parameterize them dynamically?
- Where do I store these extra information?
- How can I handle different environments like a testing environment, a development environment and a production environment?
- How can I distribute not only code but also corresponding configurations?
- How can I distribute partial web applications?
- How do I manage hierarchial web application contexts?
