This project is a collection of Spring sources used to depict certain aspects of the framework.

These code samples are designed to be used together with http://www.apress.com/us/book/9781484208120 study guide. Detailed instructions on how to use them can be found in the book.

This is the raw version of the sources that can be found on the official Apress Github account: https://github.com/Apress/pivotal-certified-pro-spring-dev-exam. These sources will be maintained and upgraded periodically.

Please buy the book, it will mean a lot to me. Also, feedback is welcome!

• in build.gradle replace this line:

with this line:

I’m not sure how long the artifact will be available there (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.noraui/ojdbc7/12.1.0.2), because Oracle licensing might prevent people from sharing their artifacts on public servers, so for long term use, the first solution is recommended.
