Introduction

The default mechanism in JOSSO for registering, configuring and assembling its components is through a built-in and product-specific IoC container. Considering that such concerns are realized in a domain-specific way, thus hiding unnecessary technical details from the configuration metadata, the setup experience is more user-friendly than using a non-domain specific approach. On the other hand, more complex setup use-cases are not easily supported and call for a higher level configuration metadata format and product-agnostic IoC container.

In order for these scenarios to be handled properly, JOSSO can be run on top of the Spring IoC container instead of the built-in container, bringing support for more complex configuration and extensibility use-cases through the leveraging of the popular Spring configuration format and its platform components.

Furthermore, existing Spring applications can interoperate with the JOSSO layer and its components (e.g. beans), since a common microkernel and component model is used.

Setup JOSSO How-Tos

This How-TOs describe the process to setup JOSSO on your J2EE / WEB infrastructure using Spring lightweight container, this feature is supported Since JOSSO 1.6. You can also use JOSSO's built-in lightweight container.

Reference For detailed information on all components and available configuration properties check out the Reference guide.
