Spring Roo goes a step beyond the Spring Framework by bringing true
Rapid Application Development to Java--just as Grails has done with
Groovy. This concise introduction shows you how to build applications
with Roo, using the framework's shell as an intelligent and timesaving
code-completion tool. It's an ideal RAD tool because Roo does much of
the tedious code maintenance.
You'll get started by building a simple customer relationship management
application, complete with step-by-step instructions and code examples.
Learn how to control any part of the application with Roo's opt-in
feature, while using this open source framework to automate the rest of
the code.
- Set up a Spring application and working Maven build to see Roo in
action
- Address persistence with JPA and the Neo4j graph database--and learn
how Roo supports NoSQL databases
- Use Roo's database reverse-engineering feature to generate a data
model from an existing schema
- Build Roo applications with Spring MVC, Spring WebFlow, Google Web
Toolkit, Vaadin, and other web frameworks
- Secure and test your application
