4 | | -Spring Data JDBC offers a repository abstraction based on JDBC. |
| 4 | +The Spring Data JDBC project applies core Spring concepts to the development of solutions that use JDBC databases aligned with <<jdbc.domain-driven-design,Domain-driven design principles>>. |
| 5 | +We provide a "`template`" as a high-level abstraction for storing and querying aggregates. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This document is the reference guide for Spring Data JDBC Support. |
| 8 | +It explains the concepts and semantics and syntax.. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +This section provides some basic introduction. |
| 11 | +The rest of the document refers only to Spring Data JDBC features and assumes the user is familiar with SQL and Spring concepts. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +[[get-started:first-steps:spring]] |
| 14 | +== Learning Spring |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Spring Data uses Spring framework's https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{springVersion}/spring-framework-reference/core.html[core] functionality, including: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +* https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{springVersion}/spring-framework-reference/core.html#beans[IoC] container |
| 19 | +* https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{springVersion}/spring-framework-reference/core.html#validation[type conversion system] |
| 20 | +* https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{springVersion}/spring-framework-reference/core.html#expressions[expression language] |
| 21 | +* https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{springVersion}/spring-framework-reference/integration.html#jmx[JMX integration] |
| 22 | +* https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{springVersion}/spring-framework-reference/data-access.html#dao-exceptions[DAO exception hierarchy]. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +While you need not know the Spring APIs, understanding the concepts behind them is important. |
| 25 | +At a minimum, the idea behind Inversion of Control (IoC) should be familiar, and you should be familiar with whatever IoC container you choose to use. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +The core functionality of the JDBC Aggregate support can be used directly, with no need to invoke the IoC services of the Spring Container. |
| 28 | +This is much like `JdbcTemplate`, which can be used "'standalone'" without any other services of the Spring container. |
| 29 | +To leverage all the features of Spring Data JDBC, such as the repository support, you need to configure some parts of the library to use Spring. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +To learn more about Spring, you can refer to the comprehensive documentation that explains the Spring Framework in detail. |
| 32 | +There are a lot of articles, blog entries, and books on the subject. |
| 33 | +See the Spring framework https://spring.io/docs[home page] for more information. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +[[requirements]] |
| 36 | +== Requirements |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +The Spring Data JDBC binaries require JDK level 8.0 and above and https://spring.io/docs[Spring Framework] {springVersion} and above. |
