Abstract
In this chapter, you'll learn about the core tasks associated with Spring. At the heart of the Spring framework is the Spring Inversion of Control (IoC) container. The IoC container is used to manage and configure POJOs or Plain Old Java Objects. Because one of the primary appeals of the Spring framework is to build Java applications with POJOs, many of Spring's core tasks involve managing and configuring POJOs in the IoC container.

Notes
- 1.
The term POJO means an ordinary Java object without any specific requirements, such as to implement an interface or to extend a base class. This term is used to distinguish lightweight Java components from heavyweight components in other complex component models (e.g., EJB components prior to version 3.1 of the EJB specification).
