Sherwin John Calleja Tragura started his career as a student assistant and a mathematics tutor during his college years at the University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. With meager resources, he graduated as a Department of Science and Technology (DOST) R.A. 7687 scholar under the bachelor of computer science degree. Immediately after graduation, he took up the offer to teach CMSC 150 (numerical and symbolic computation) at the Institute of Computer Science and completed his masters degree in computer science simultaneously. He became part of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) software team, which gave him the opportunity to use Struts, Spring, and RCP frameworks in many of its software projects.
Based on his experience at IRRI, he was given the opportunity to work as a Java analyst in various companies in Manila, such as ABSI, PHILAM- AIG, and Ayala Systems and Technology Inc. (ASTI). These companies have strengthened his skillset through training in Java and Java Enterprise platforms and some popular tools such as EMC Documentum and Alfresco Document and Records Management System. He got his first career certification in the EMC Documentum Proven Associate course (E20-120).
After a few years, he decided to become an independent consultant and trainer, providing services mostly on Java-based projects, Alfresco, and Apache OFBiz requirement. He started his venture as a Java-JEE Bootcamp with 77Global and is currently the trainer at Software Laboratory Inc. (SLI), Alibata Business and Technology Services Inc., and Nityo Infotech, Philippines. He also conducts training and talks around the Philippines such as in Cebu City and Tacloban City.
Sherwin has contributed as a technical reviewer on various books by Packt Publishing, these include: Delphi Cookbook, Alfresco 3 Records Management, Alfresco Share, and Mastering Hibernate. He owes everything to Packt Publishing with the unforgettable experiences on technical editing tasks, which have been an essential part of his career.
As an Oracle Certified Associate and Java SE 7 Programmer (1Z0-803), author will continue his mandate as a technical trainer, developer, architect, and designer to help the industry improve its standards on information technology. He will always be the epitome of honor, excellence, and service when it comes to software development and business intelligence.
This book is dedicated to my father, Cesar Tragura, who passed away on July 8, 2016 while I was adding the finishing touch to this book. I am greatly saddened about your sudden passing, but I know, after all, that you are happy for my first book, and you will always be happy for me and my brother. Thank you for all the memories. Goodbye.

Many books have been written about Spring Framework that discuss its design patterns and principles, core components, and coding standards and styles, as well as the configuration details of its container, all of which provide a good start to creating a web application. Some literature focuses more on the new features of every release and provides a marketing model for how Spring can help boost the software industry. There are a few that serve as a cookbook of Spring definitions and components for advanced users. Rarely are books written that provide readers with all the core concepts of the Spring specification in collaboration with the most common and popular software libraries, plugins, or frameworks needed to create software with optimal, if not fast, performance, efficient and effective workflows, clever data presentation and business intelligence, standardized graphical user interfaces, and testable, robust, and simple architecture.
This book offers 10 chapters that aim to provide a full guide to maximizing the features of Spring in order to provide technical solutions to some needs from different areas of discipline. It consists of basic concepts about how to start implementing and deploying Spring applications. It provides some new workarounds to Spring users and poses open-ended questions to advanced developers to continue doing research on the Spring 4.x specification.
Writing this book was time consuming since each chapter has its own dedicated software blueprint to be implemented in order to exhibit all the concepts elaborated in the chapters. Not only the results, but also the technical issues and bugs have been taken into consideration to check whether all functional specifications can fit into one project with the correct API library versions available. Due to time constraints, not all software blueprints are as good as finished products yet, but they are fully executable specimens for the book, covering all the details of the Spring 4.x framework.
Chapter 1, Creating a Personal Web Portal (PWP), highlights the Inverse of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) design patterns of the Spring 4.x MVC architecture. All classes and interfaces of Spring 4.x specification, which create the t...
