I couldn’t find any sort of companion site url. Was I not reading carefully enough or does one not exist on purpose/due to time constraints?
Trying out the Ch.6: Writing Java Web Applications example…
On first try, I had a configuration problem trying to install ALL of Spring IDE 2.2.4 plugin for Eclipse 3.4 for Java EE on OS X 10.4.11. Here’s the error message:
Staying in Eclipse 3.4 I then tried to install only the Spring IDE parts specified on p.33 by doing Help > Software Updates > Available Software > Add Site (http://springide.org/updatesite) and the installation worked.
Note
It was quicker and easier to do this Spring MVC tutorial first, before doing Ch.6’s detailed ANT build solution. There was 1 vague area here, in the Adding Libraries section it was unclear which folders contain which .jar file. Also, the file names didn’t contain the version numbers in them. After a little digging inside /mylocalpath/spring-framework-2.5.6/, it was fine. Most were in “dist,” “lib,” or “jakarta-commons.”
Here’s a resource for going beyond the Ch.6 example: Mastering Spring MVC.
