DESCRIPTION
As a Java developer, anything that boosts your productivity without compromising the quality of your projects is a GOOD THING. Roo is a GOOD THING. Roo is a lightweight Java development tool that works within your existing processes, rapidly produces high-quality 100% Java code, and then gets out of the way so there's no runtime impact. Roo enforces correct coding practices and patterns and instantly integrates not only with Spring, but also with virtually every mainstream Java technology, from ActiveMQ to JPA to OSGi and more.
Spring Roo in Action is a unique book that teaches you how to code Java in Roo, with a particular focus on Spring-based applications. It starts by getting you into the Roo mindset, covering Aspect Oriented Programming and annotations within a don't-repeat-yourself, convention-over-configuration framework. Through hands-on examples, you'll learn how Roo creates well-formed application structures and supports best practices and tools. Plus, you'll get a quick-and-dirty guide to setting up Roo effectively in your environment.
The second part of the book focuses on building application components using Roo from the database layer to the user interface. It guides you through creating architecture objects and moving them easily through the application layers. In Part 3, you'll look beyond the basics to important topics like integrating security, messaging, advanced user interface tools and cloud computing. Finally, you'll learn to integrate Roo more tightly with existing Spring projects and to create and deploy custom Roo add-ons.

WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING
“If Spring Roo is a beginner's portal into the world of Spring, then this book is your wormhole. If only I could give this must-have handbook a 5.01 rating!”
—Adrian Png, Software Developer
“I would recommend Spring Roo In Action to my fellow Java developers who are looking for the next revolution in enterprise java development. Spring Roo is not just another framework to be used, but as the authors explain and demonstrate so well, Spring Roo is giant step forward in Java web application development.”
—Michael Piscatello, Senior Application Architect
