Exam topics covered include tasks and scheduling remoting the Spring Web Services framework
RESTful services with Spring MVC the Spring JMS module JMS and JTA transactions with Spring
batch processing with Spring Batch and the Spring Integration framework. Prepare with
confidence for the Pivotal Enterprise Integration with Spring Exam. One of the important
aspects of this book is a focus on new and modern abstractions provided by Spring. Therefore
most of the features are shown with Java annotations alongside established XML configurations.
Most of the examples in the book are also based on the Spring Boot framework. Spring Boot
adoption is exponential because of its capability to significantly simplify Spring
configuration using sensible opinionated defaults. But Spring Boot is not the target of the
exam therefore all the features are also covered with plain Spring configuration examples. How
to use Spring to create concurrent applications and schedule tasks How to do remoting to

coupled Web services and clients How to use Spring MVC to create RESTful web services and
clients How to integrate JMS for asynchronous messaging-based communication How to use local
JMS transactions with Spring How to configure global JTA transactions with Spring How to use
Spring Integration to create event-driven pipes-and-filters architectures and integrate with
