Chapter 6. Spring in Action

6.1. About Spring Quickstarts

A quickstart is a sample application that serves as a working example of the features and functionalities provided by the framework. Multiple Spring quickstarts are packaged in the Quickstarts directory of every Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit release, for example:
  • spring-greeter
  • spring-kitchensink-basic
  • spring-petclinic
  • spring-resteasy
Each quickstart contains a README.md file that details the prerequisites of the sample application, build and deploy instructions, and other related information. This chapter discusses the Spring Archetype example that uses the spring-kitchensink quickstart packaged in the JBoss Web Framework Kit distribution.
