This post is a short overview of the Four day workshop about Spring Web. The full name of this course is Building Enterprise Web Applications using Spring MVC. I participated in the course this week. This is the latest version of the course. An exam aligned to this edition should be available soon.

EJB components differ from Spring beans on the technical background whereas their concept is quite similar. The technical diversity might be an issue when composing dependencies between these two bean types. The purpose of this post it to give an idea to design solutions based on a mutual EJB and Spring beans interoperability. There are taken into account two main concerns: accessing EJB components from Spring beans and accessing Spring beans from EJB components. The post introduces technical aspects referring to a simple enterprise application implementing beans cooperation.
The way of loading a Spring Application Context in Java Web Applications and JSE applications is commonly known. For web applications packaged in WAR files, in a web.xml file need to be declared a ContextLoaderListener and a contextConfigLocation context parameter which refers to XML Spring Application Context configurations.

This article tries to present how to design a Java EE application that gives a possibility to load a Spring Application Context without using a WebApplicationContext. It is not always required to have a web nature of a Java enterprise application.
