Package org.springframework.jdbc


@NullMarked package org.springframework.jdbc
The classes in this package make JDBC easier to use and reduce the likelihood of common errors. In particular, they:
  • Simplify error handling, avoiding the need for try/catch/finally blocks in application code.
  • Present exceptions to application code in a generic hierarchy of unchecked exceptions, enabling applications to catch data access exceptions without being dependent on JDBC, and to ignore fatal exceptions there is no value in catching.
  • Allow the implementation of error handling to be modified to target different RDBMSes without introducing proprietary dependencies into application code.

This package and related packages are discussed in Chapter 9 of Expert One-On-One J2EE Design and Development by Rod Johnson (Wrox, 2002).
