More Information:
This session provides an overview of how to build and deploy Spring-based applications to the Cloud Foundry platform.
Gunnar will demonstrate how to deploy applications to both micro and public Cloud Foundry using STS, the vmc command tool, as well as the new Apache Maven plugin. He will also show how to bind services to your application, how debugging works with Cloud Foundry, and how you can inspect services remotely using Caldecott.

Gunnar will additionally highlight various options to keep your War-files deployable to both Cloud Foundry and stand-alone Servlet Containers using auto-configuration, the cloud namespace as well as Spring 3.1 profiles.

Lastly, he will give a high-level overview of how you can use Cloud Foundry together with Spring Integration in order to create scalable Spring application.

Also, we will be giving away some awesome swag that was kindly donated to us by SpringSource.
