Spring Framework Essentials Documentation

This page can be found at https://bradleyross.github.io/Spring-Framework-Essentials while the actual project is at https://www.github.com/bradleyross/Spring-Framework-Essentials.

This project is a fork of kousen/Spring-Framework-Essentials at a href="https://www.github.com/kousen/Spring-Framework-Essentials" target="_blank"> https://www.github.com/kousen/Spring-Framework-Essentials. Since the original project was distributed under the MIT license, this fork is also being distributed under the MIT license. I added some comments and made some minor changes to make the code more understandable to myself.

Comments and Errata

• In com.oreilly.repositories.JdbcAccountRepository, the constructor has an Autowired annotation. This appears to be incorrect.
• A number of import statements were commented out because they are unused and gave warning messages in Eclipse.
• I have found import static, import with wildcards hurt maintainability and readability in the long run. They can also cause problems with your code if your external jar files change. The reason for this is that a change in the external code can cause a potential conflict to exist where one did not exist before.
• In a few cases, I changed some of the fields and methods from private to protected. If a private field or method is not used in the class, the Eclipse IDE generates a warning. Switching the item to protected does not change the meaning of the code, but does eliminate the warning message.
• The SuppressWarnings("Duplicates") exists in IntelliJ, but does appear in Eclipse.
• The build process using Gradle on MacOS Eclipse can generate a warning indicating that a copy of .DS_Store can't be copied to the output folder. The file .DS_Store is a special file indicating how the directory should appear in Finder and should not be copied by the build tasks. The warning can be ignored. I also added .DS_Store to .gitignore.
• The MySQL account and password were both changed to spring.
