ZK Spring is an open source enterprise-grade library integrating the Spring framework with ZK. ZK Spring provides an effortless way of accelerating application development by integrating robust SpringSource libraries such as Spring MVC, Spring Web Flow and Spring Security with ZK.
ZK is a highly productive Java Web framework at the presentation layer for building amazing UI in web and mobile applications. It is renowned for its “Ajax without JavaScript” approach since its debut in 2005, enabling developers to build internet applications transparently without any need of knowledge on Ajax or JavaScript.
Spring framework, on the other hand, is one of the world's most popular Development frameworks turning over traditional Java programming which is heavy and with high complexity to surprising developers with a framework that enables lightweight and easy Java programming.
This integration of ZK and SpringSource libraries results in the leveraging of benefits from both frameworks providing users with ease to adopt the Spring framework in ZK by making features and functionalities of Spring which are page-based compatible to that of the event-driven model of ZK. This way, ZK is able to adopt many convenient features offered by that of the SpringSource libraries including the ability to customize or extend parts of the security system, in keeping application objects free of security code and to seamlessly access Spring managed beans in EL, zscirpt and data binding.
Other features and functionality includes but not limited to the following:
Spring MVC
- Seamlessly access Spring managed beans in EL, zscript and data binding
- Complete lightweight container providing automated configuration and wiring of application objects
- Common abstraction layer for transaction management
- JDBC abstraction layer
- Integration with Toplink, Hibernate and JDO
- Aspect-orientated programming functionality
Spring Security
- Ability to customize or extend parts of the security system
- Keeps your application objects free of security code
- HTTP request authorization
- Multiple options for enforcing access-controls such as EJB3 security annotations
- Open ID support
- HTTP BASIC and Digest authentication supported
- Various back-end credential storage methods supported such as a database or XML file
- SHA and MD5 password encoding with optional salting
- Database caching to prevent extra queries
- Security for Web Flow
Spring Web Flow
- A domain-specific-language for defining reusable controller modules
- Advanced controller engine for managing conversational states
- Page flow of application visible by looking at XML or java configuration.
- Web flows designed to be self contained and reusable
- Technique to capture page flow remains the same for all cases with no specialized approaches for any particular situations.
