Introduction to Spring Web Flow

Spring Web Flow Training

The Introduction to Spring Web Flow training course focuses on the creation of simple and complex web applications using the Spring Web Flow framework. The course begins with a review of core Spring Framework concepts required to used Spring Web Flow within an application. It then transitions into an in-depth examination of the key concepts, components, configurations, best-practices, and gotchas when adopting the Web Flow. Along the way, the course introduces advanced techniques including custom convertors, validators, sub-flows, and life cycles. This course assumes developers are already familiar with both the Spring Framework and Java web development.

Introduction to Spring Web Flow can be combined with Introduction to the Spring Framework to create 5-day comprehensive “Working with Spring” course.
