This project stores code that is being built incrementally through my blog. The blog is located at http://tresbackblog-tresback.rhcloud.com and dives into various topics dealing with Java, Spring, and ReST services.

The first features implemented use Java configuration of a Spring 3.1 project. This allows us to remove XML configuration code within the web.xml and Spring servlet config XML files that previously drove our applications. There should be plenty of comments directing how old XML values are now represented in the Java code.

The second implementation detail added gives bean controlling power to the Spring application through a ReST interface. This power gives an administration user the ability to turn beans on and off or change the implementation of a wired bean during execution time, without the need for server restarts.

Finally, there are calls to my Spring Invoker project that provides a means for this application to make downstream SOAP and ReST service calls without having to load in the client stub classes of those services, and without hard- coding the interface code into the application.
