具體功能, A Free introduction on spring framework. 簡單地說，Spring 是一個以控制倒置(Inversion of Control)原則為基礎的輕量級框架。控制倒置是一個用于“基于組件的體系結(jié)構(gòu)”的設計模式，它將“判斷依賴關系”的職責移交給容器，而不是由組件本身來判斷彼此之間的依賴關系。當在Spring內(nèi)實現(xiàn)組件時, 容器“輕量級”的方面就展現(xiàn)出來了：針對Spring開發(fā)的組件不需要任何外部庫；而且, 容器是輕量級的，它避免了像EJB容器那樣的重量級方案的主要缺點，例如啟動時間長、測試復雜、部署和配置困難，等等。
