Now that we've walked you through the creation and testing of your first Spring application, it's time to dig a little deeper into the IoC container. In In-depth Inversion of Control (IoC) we'll explore more of the details, functional and internal, that make Spring a powerful application framework. Before we do, use the following instructions to set up your Spring environment.
Projects can be checked out directly from the Subversion repository located at http://svn.springbyexample.org/springindepth/ or using an IDE.
Please refer to the Setup Appendix for detailed instructions on getting a development environment configured.
