5.0 out of 5 starsI recommend to read this, if you are seriously considering Roo
By Jukka Nikki on September 28, 2012
Format: Paperback
Spring Roo in Action is by my understanding most viable and up to date book of this technology currently. To compare it with O'Reillys Getting Started with Roo is ridiculous, but eye opening. O'Reillys book is like a article from excited but bit naive tech sales. Yeah. Try it out, it's free to download, but really: it's short and leaving you to feel that there's more to understand before you can really go on and become committed Roo developer.

Roo is exploding your tiny little commands to full blown application in minutes. And if you are at all curious you want to know what happened. Some OSGi, AspectJ, Plugins, and you are there. Spring Roo in Action is decently trying to get you to understand it all.

Roo in Action is also trying to tell you what Roo exactly generated and what you can do with it. It's covering Roo 1.2, getting close to tell you what there's in ui, logic and persistence layers, but falling short on explaining details. I would have wanted to know more, and wonder if all the limitations of book are well thought: web mvc customization without going thru theming, plugins without describing creation of custom annotations, cloud for just Cloud Foundry.

Ken Rimple is active at Forums of Manning, and has expanded books content in web. I would have given some less of points if I wouldn't have noticed that this book has really good errata, forums have helpful discussions, at least one extra article on Spring Web Flows with Roo is published and eBook is getting updates.

It must have been quite an editing to keep up with changing versions of Roo and expand book to contain Roo 1.2 Services and Repositories concept in addition to ActiveRecord pattern. Book hasn't solid structure and quality, some chapters have more detail than others, but I feel that it's worth full 5 stars.

Good job. Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent resource
By mcfar on October 12, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book has been very helpful and is a great resource for developing in Spring Roo. It explains things in a clear concise manner and the examples are complete enough to be useful. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone learning Roo. I've have found that I turn to this book for a better explanation of how to do things than what I find in the Roo documentation or forums on the web.

5.0 out of 5 starsPowerful Spring code generation
By Doug Warren on July 12, 2012
Format: Paperback
Spring Roo offers a powerful command-driven tool that leverages AspectJ in the development environment to generate code for web applications using Spring Security, Spring MVC, Spring Data, Hibernate, and JPA persistence with productivity similar to Rails or Grails.

Roo really shows the power of ITD (Inter-type Declarations) aspects that enable development productivity enhancements for such common requirements of coding JavaBean property getters/setters, toString output construction, JPA entity persistence, and test case generation.

The authors not only explain how Roo works, but even more importantly they tell developers what they need to know to fully exploit its unique capabilities. This is more than a technology book, but it offers a productivity guide to leverage Spring technologies using Roo.

This book would be valuable for any Java, Spring, or Hibernate developer that wants to enhance their productivity with Roo code generation. It offers a developer significant productivity advantages and leverage in their projects based on these examples and techniques.

4.0 out of 5 starshow to do everything in roo
By Jeanne Boyarsky on May 28, 2012
Format: Paperback
"Spring Roo in Action" starts out with an example. Similar to the "Rails demo" where you build a complete application in 15 minutes. The book then moves on to how to use the shell and your IDE with Roo. I particularly liked the part about which files are safe to change vs which are Roo only.

The tricky thing with Roo is that readers need to understand a bit about the technologies Roo is generating code for in order to understand the examples. (Spring MVC, JPA, Dojo, Ajax, etc.) The authors cover "the least you need to know to follow." It's more useful as a review than if you've never use the technology. But if you've never used the technology, you wouldn't be generating code for it and expecting to understand it anyway.

The other tricky thing in a book like this is that the authors are experts on Roo (and many other things) but not necessarily everything in the book. For example, the JUnit section mixes junit.framework with org.junit packages (3.8 vs 4.0). And assertTrue(a.size() == b.size()) which gives a less clear assertion failure than assertEquals(a, b). This isn't important but I'd caution against assuming everything you read is a best practice.

However, the Spring and Roo parts of the book are excellent and I couldn't find any anti-patterns in there. In a Roo book, that's what you want to see.

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for writing this review on behalf of CodeRanch.
