In the new Spring reference documentation that is located at http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/new-in-3.html#new-in-3-new-tutorial there is a link to the documentation page where we are supposed to find new getting started tutorial for Spring MVC. But no such tutorial can be found at that page.

Dose anyone have some information about new getting started MVC tutorial and where it is located.

Thanks, Oleksandr

The problem with your suggestion is that Im looking for tutorial covering MVC with annotations. In steb-by-step guide they only referencing xml-based configuration, but promising making tutorial with annotations soon. And they make an announcement on a new, separate document, named Spring 3.0 MVC Getting Started that I cant find.

If you've never used Spring, the 2.5 version will be more than sufficient. The new features added to 3.0 won't make enough difference to keep you from getting started. It'd be a good exercise to make the XML version work, then alter it to use annotations. Better to start than wait for a document whose appearance isn't guaranteed.

I have a colleague of mine, that participate on Devoxx conference this year in Brussels. And there was reviled by Spring Stuff that xml-based Spring MVC will be deprecated at version 3.0.So there is no reason to learn something that will become obsolete soon.My question is why there is no ne mvc getting starting tutorial yet, and do we know at least when it will be published?
Oleksandr
I hope you mean "revealed", not "reviled". 8) Yes, of course things will change. It's also a fact that the 3.0 version of the document isn't available. I'm suggesting that you use this as a learning opportunity to make the 2.5 "step by step" stuff work and then change it to use the new 3.0 features. I don't work for Spring, so I can't tell you why the document isn't available or when it will appear.

A good place to start is Spring samples. Do an svn checkout of the mvc-basic and the petcare apps as those have been updated to 3.0. I'm not sure which (if any) of the other apps have been updated.
