Spring.NET with WSS 3.0

[shivaram]

I am a newbie to Spring.NET. I have read the reference documentation and find Spring and it's concepts interesting.

We need to build an application on Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0. The UI will be built as Sharepoint Webparts.

We want to build the business and data layers for this application using Spring.NET. In such a scenario is it possible to host the Spring engine within Sharepoint? Where would the Spring configuration files be defined in this case?
How different would this be from regular ASP.NET applications using Spring ?

If anybody has tried this before, I would like to know their experiences.

Hi,

How different would this be from regular ASP.NET applications using Spring ?

The security level is maybe different, maybe you'll need to change the security level from minimal to medium.
Another point is the location for the Sprinf dll ? main bin directory or GAC.

In such a scenario is it possible to host the Spring engine within Sharepoint? Where would the Spring configuration files be defined in this case?

You should define the Spring context in the main Web.Config file.


You should write a PoC to see what's happening.
In any case, let us know
