Migrating Enterprise Applications to Spring
Spring has grown from a simple framework into an alternative platform to the full-stack Enterprise Java platform (Java EE). Targeting Spring allows applications to be written with less code while also reducing complexity, greatly increasing portability across multiple environments, ensuring better code re-usability, and easing the process of testing application code. This white paper provides practical guidance on architectural decisions related to migrating enterprise applications to the Spring platform, common migration strategies and specific migration cases.
Migrating Enterprise Applications to Spring
Spring – A Manager’s Overview
This white paper describes the core technologies that form the solid foundation of the Spring platform, and discusses the business value resulting from the use of Spring to build enterprise applications. Written expressly for technology managers, the white paper reviews a history of Spring and the core values that led to its creation. It offers a conceptual overview of the Spring Framework architecture, the relation of Spring to Java EE, and a review of the complete Spring Portfolio and the platforms that can run Spring. The white paper concludes with a discussion around the return on investment for using Spring and a list of case studies that successfully used Spring in large scale projects.
Spring In Production
Spring is used in production in mission critical applications all around the world. This white paper explains Spring from a runtime perspective. It describes how Spring instantiates and configures application components, and manages the request dispatching pipeline. On top of the Spring kernel is the enterprise service layer which provides runtime support for managing transactions, data access, messaging, and more. A section on tuning Spring applications for production covers how to establish an effective blueprint and how to optimize your application design. Here you'll find over 25 hints, tips and essential techniques for getting more out of your Spring-powered applications.
The Financial Benefits of Modeling and Code Generation for Delivering Rich Internet Applications
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are becoming more pervasive in today’s enterprises because they offer better user experiences, which lead to better financial results as measured by higher revenue at lower cost. This whitepaper provides examples of typical RIAs and describes how new model centric, automated tools are used to deliver RIAs and provide enterprises with significant financial returns.
Financial Benefits of Modeling and Code Generation for RIAs
Agile Development and Model Driven Design Solve the Broken Software Delivery Process
Over 80% of software projects are delivered late, over 50% do not deliver required features, and cost overruns exceed 15% on average. This paper describes how iterative and agile development methodologies are being combined with Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and Model Driven Development to solve many of the long standing challenges in software delivery.

Software Delivery Simplified: Using the Right Tools and Processes
The tools and methods used to deliver software hardly have changed in over a decade. Given this lack of innovation, it’s not surprising that software still is routinely delivered late, over budget, and incomplete (missing required features). Read about new model-based tools and model-enabled processes in use today that dramatically simplify software delivery.

Simplifying Software Delivery in an SOA World
Skyway explores a new approach to simplifying the software development lifecycle for SOA using a delivery concept called Model-Driven Development and Deployment (M3D). M3D is utilized by enterprises today to achieve 50% or more cost reductions in software delivery compared to traditional methods.

Turbocharge Your Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
The value of an ESB is measured by the number of services it contains and how often those services are re-used across applications. This paper presents a way to substantially increase the value of an ESB investment by using new model-driven development tools as the fastest way to construct service based applications.

Demystifying SOA
This document lays out the evolution of SOA to date and the changes within IT that are taking place to move it further along. Areas that are discussed are changed in human skills, development methodologies and business processes. Organizations that embrace these changes will be more likely to succeed in showing value to the business on their first SOA-based application.
Next Generation Application Development
Business and IT have changed significantly over the years. There are two shifts in software delivery that will empower businesses to reach their goals. The first shift is to insulate business applications from the technology that is used to implement them. The second is to narrow the gap between business requirements and application implementation. This whitepaper outlines four areas of technology innovation evolving business needs that the technology innovations that are driving continued changes in software delivery

SOA Starts With Design and Delivery
This document is designed to help organizations understand what SOA is and how to quickly move to SOA while building a scalable SOA infrastructure. Whether implementing an enterprise-wide SOA strategy or starting SOA with a single project, the following paper provides the information needed to complete a successful and profitable implementation. This document contains information that will easily be understood by a technical or a business audience.

Service Oriented Architecture - Realizing the Business Value
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the latest solution architecture model from the software engineering world. So what? Will an SOA solution translate into business value? Yes, it can and it should. Understanding the business and technical drivers for SOA solutions is a key step in realizing and maximizing the value back to the business.
This white paper examines how Skyway's SOA platform enables organizations to realize and maximize business value with SOA solutions.
