Spring MVC portlet IBM WPS - spring-mvc

In my job there was a debate about using Spring MVC portlet with IBM WPS, and architect is insisting it is have problem to use it without providing any reference, anyone have any input in this discussion based on actual experience, or any reference talking about issue of using Spring MVC portlet with IBM WPS, or have any reference can I use to show comparison of using Spring MVC portlet or other frameworks?

The standard Spring portlet MVC portlets work well. However they don't offer the fancy components offered by JSF frameworks.
Check out the spring documentation for getting started. You can check the outdated pet portal, not sure if it is working with 3.2 though.

Spring Swagger UI: what is difference between io.swagger, io.springfox, and com.mangofactory

I am working on integrating the swagger UI with a spring boot MVC app and I am curious as to the differences between these libraries.
I looked at each on mvnrepository.com and they are all done by different groups but seem to do the same thing. I am hoping to get a clear idea of the differences between these and if one is recommended over the others. I notice the swagger-core module by io.swagger has the most usages.
Thanks!
Here is an explanation of the different libraries.
Springfox is in a sense v2 of the swagger library that used to be packaged as mangofactory. What happened was we transitioned from using a private repo to creating a github organization so support development as a team.
In short mangofactory evolved into springfox which supports 2.0 version of swagger spec (in addition to 1.2). To be clear springfox and its predecessor supports spring mvc.
io.swagger is the mother ship if you will. It has great support for spring and jax-rs. So if you're looking for support for Jax-rs based services using spring or otherwise that's a great option.
io.swagger is the package for swagger libraries and you need separate spring jars to couple it with Spring. This is version 2 of swagger.
io.springfox is Springfox Swagger2, wherein swagger comes integrated with Spring.
com.mangofactory is swagger integrated with Spring Web MVC framework.

How can I add webflow using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf?

I have written a Spring web app for baseball umpires using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. I like Spring Boot because it resolves dependency w/o a lot of configuration. Now I want to add Sprng WebFlow so umpires can order uniforms, a typical "shopping cart" application. There are many examples on the web but none using Spring Boot. They all are the traditional xml config with jsp and jstl. Has anyone used Spring Boot and WebFlow? There are WebFlow examples on the official Spring web site but very complicated. Thanks Rob
Spring Roo 2.0.0.M3 generates Spring Boot applications and integrates Spring Web Flow easier than ever.
The reference guide includes detailed descriptions of all the features, plus an extensive user guide for main use cases.

Backbone and spring mvc

Hi I am just starting to learn backbone.js and now I am trying to integrate it with spring mvc, I looked everywhere for a simple example using the two to get an idea how it works but all I found was a few complex examples which I tried and failed to understand.Could you please provide me examples and help me do a simple hello world example using Backbonejs and spring mvc.
If you are familliar with the usage of Spring MVC, you can try using the "jackson" extension on your controllers. Jackson has the ability to turn your data requests into replies that are in the form of Data Transfer Objects (specifically JSON).
Since Backbone.js will handle all of your frontend needs, it is alright to use only the Model and Controller parts of the Spring MVC framework. Backbone.js's models will therefore consume your jackson integrated Spring MVC rest service, and can the be rendered in Backbone Views.
Yo can start with Spring Getting Started Guide "Consuming a RESTful Web Service with Backbone.js"
Or go for a full stack like RESThub with the "Spring Stack tutorial".

It's possible using Spring Web Mvc without annotations?

I'm doing a training in computer consulting company.
The project manager gave me an exercise to do with spring web mvc where do I get the data sent from a form and I need to display them on another page. I did it, all right, and I used the annotation of spring mvc.
Now the project manager told me to do the reengineering exercise,
doing it without using the annotation.
I searched on 10 sites including:
tutorialspoint, html.it, mykong, and documentation of spring mvc web and I saw that spring web mvc only works with the annotation, the annotation that I used are nell'esrcizio # RequestMapping, # Controller, # ModelAttribute.
Thank you
You can use xml configuration refer this link, if it helps you then up vote please

Need advice? What to choose Servlets or Spring MVC?

I have an application in mind which I want to develop. I am targeting the application for a big user base, consider it as a social app. But I am not
sure whether to write it with Servlets or Spring MVC.
I have a good grip on Servlets, it would be easy for me to develop, but when it comes to Spring I am still novice.
I am not clear what difference would it make if the app is developed on Servlets rather than Spring MVC.
Scalability or some factors like that?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
It might take you some time to learn Spring but..., once you do, it will provide powerful tools to code.
Its always good to go for Spring framework as it provides:
Dependency Injection support
Spring MVC: easy to customize
Data access support
Spring Security
AOP support etc..
Clearly, Spring provides more functionality than servlets. But if your app is very simple enough, you can go for Servlets.
