The Introduction to Spring Web Flow training course is designed to demonstrate the creation of simple and complex web applications using the Spring Web Flow framework.

The course begins with a review of core Spring Framework concepts required to use Spring Web Flow within an application. It then transitions into an in-depth examination of the key concepts, components, configurations, best-practices, and gotchas when adopting the Web Flow. The course concludes by introducing advanced techniques including custom convertors, validators, sub-flows, and life cycles.

Prerequisites: This course assumes developers are already familiar with both the Spring Framework and Java web development.

Productivity Objectives

• Develop a simple Spring Web Flow application
• Enhance and configure the functionality of the application using beans and bindings
• Discover how to process requests using actions on controllers, service objects, and other JavaBeans placed in Web Flow or Spring singleton scopes
• Create robust input validation using model beans and view states
• Demonstrate how to organize complex applications into master flows and subflows
• Observe the progress of a flow using a flow execution listener and implement interceptors over one or more lifecycle hooks
