Overview of this book

Spring MVC helps you build flexible and loosely coupled web applications. The Spring MVC Framework is architected and designed in such a way that every piece of logic and functionality is highly configurable. Also, Spring can integrate effortlessly with other popular web frameworks such as Struts, WebWork, Java Server Faces, and Tapestry. The book progressively teaches you to configure the Spring development environment, architecture, controllers, libraries, and more before moving on to developing a full web application. It begins with an introduction to the Spring development environment and architecture so you're familiar with the know-hows. From here, we move on to controllers, views, validations, Spring Tag libraries, and more. Finally, we integrate it all together to develop a web application. You'll also get to grips with testing applications for reliability.

Understanding checkout flow

Okay, we just got the minimum required introduction to Spring Web Flow concepts; there are plenty of advanced concepts out there to master in Spring Web Flow. We are not going to see all those things, because that itself deserves a separate book. As of now, this is enough to understand the checkout-flow.xml flow definition file. But before that, we will provide a quick overview of our checkout flow. The following diagram will give you the overall idea of the checkout flow that we just implemented:

Our checkout flow diagram has a start state and an end state; each rounded rectangle in the diagram defines an action state and each double-line-bordered rounded rectangle defines a view state. Each arrowed line defines transition, and the name associated with it defines the event that causes that particular transition. The checkout-flow.xml file just contains this flow in an XML representation.
