Description

A free Spring cheat sheet from DZone. Craig Walls, the author who created our popular Spring Configuration refcard, follows up with this excellent reference on Spring Annotations.

From its beginning, Spring’s most common means of configuration has been XML-based. But as developers grow weary of navigating through a seemingly endless maze of angle-brackets, some have started looking for other ways to wire the beans in their Spring-enabled applications. Spring has responded with several annotation-driven configuration options. In this reference card, you'll find a guide to all of the annotations supported in Spring 2.5.
