JavaZone 2011 - Spring Java Config is cool. Writing it in Scala makes it sexy!
Moving from Java to Scala sometimes feels scary. To make the transition a little bit easier it might help to keep some of the existing Java frameworks your company have experience in using. At least that is our theory when we chose to keep SpringMVC as web framework in my current Scala project. Time will tell if we are right or wrong in that theory :)
But I did stumble upon a nice little side effect. That Scala could make Spring Java Config go from cool to great.
In this lightning talk I will show how a Spring config could look in Scala, and how we could use Scala's features to create very readable and type safe Spring configuration.
