This Java library is a common set of classes that I frequently use to build complex Spring 3 web-applications.

It is built around Spring 3.2.6.RELEASE, and does not currently support older versions of Spring.

The latest stable version of this library is 0.0.8.

If you wish to use this artifact, you can easily add it to your existing Maven or SBT project using my GitHub hosted Maven2 repository.

resolvers += "Kolich repo" at "http://markkolich.github.com/repo"

val kolichSpring = "com.kolich" % "kolich-spring" % "0.0.8" % "compile"

<repository>
  <id>Kolichrepo</id>
  <name>Kolich repo</name>

This Java library and its dependencies are built and managed using SBT (the Simple Build Tool) 0.13.0.

To clone and build kolich-spring, you must have SBT installed and configured on your computer.

The kolich-spring SBT Build.scala file is highly customized to build and package this Java artifact. It's written to manage all dependencies and versioning.

To build, clone the repository.

#~> git clone git://github.com/markkolich/kolich-spring.git

Run SBT from within kolich-spring.

#~> cd kolich-spring
#~/kolich-spring> sbt
...
kolich-spring:0.0.8>

You will see a kolich-spring SBT prompt once all dependencies are resolved and the project is loaded.

In SBT, run package to compile and package the JAR.

kolich-spring:0.0.8> package
[info] Compiling 17 Java sources to ~/kolich-spring/target/classes...
[info] Packaging ~/kolich-spring/dist/kolich-spring-0.0.8.jar ...
[info] Done packaging.
[success] Total time: 4 s, completed

Note the resulting JAR is placed into the kolich-spring/dist directory.

Naturally, this artifact depends on spring-web 3.2.6.RELEASE, and spring-webmvc 3.2.6.RELEASE.

It also firmly depends on my common package of utility classes, kolich-common.
