Open Source - Spring Framework

Spring Solutions Practice

Overview

Chariot Solutions has used the Spring Framework since its beginning in late 2003. Our consultants have deep knowledge of the platform and having worked with it on many different projects, across industries. Our partnership with SpringSource keeps us on the cutting edge and involved in new technologies such as Spring AMS, the OSGi-based Spring Application Server, and the SpringSource IDE.

Spring-specific Service Offerings - Chariot has several offerings centered around Spring technologies.

Application Development

Chariot Solutions can assist in your Spring-based application development projects using the full array of Spring APIs and modules. Our architects and developers have written solutions using Spring Core, Spring MVC, Web Flow and other APIs. We can work as members of an internal team or assemble our own team and help you manage the effort.

Enterprise Messaging/SOA

Our consultants create messaging integration using ActiveMQ or other JMS engines, as well as SOA platform analysis and rollout using ESB frameworks such as Mule and the Spring-embeddable ServiceMix.

Application Migration

Chariot can help you move your application platform from legacy code written in Java EE 1.4 and below to an open source solution such as Spring and Tomcat. Our application architects and developers have a great deal of experience with both traditional Java EE development and Spring and can thoroughly evaluate, plan and implement the migration process.

Architecture Assessment

Chariot's architects can review existing solutions and recommend changes based on your current needs. Areas of expertise include:

Scalability - does your existing platform provide enough power to scale to meet your future needs?
Maintainability - is the current platform architected with an ability to tolerate new and modified requirements?
Availability - does the platform provide proper redundancy of services and infrastructure?
Integration with external systems - can the application integrate with external systems easily?
