About the Across primer series
| Excerpt |
|---|
In this series we try to give a quick overview of how to build web applications using Across and its Standard Modules. Across is a framework focused on building application modules on top of Spring framework. A single Across module packs a Spring ApplicationContext configuration, along with all web controllers, templates and static resources required to run it. Across is very much developer focused, aiming at Java developers already proficient with Spring framework. |
Across is not OSGi. Although a running Across context consists of several modules, like most Spring and Spring Boot applications, these are not dynamically loaded but bootstrapped at JVM startup time.

That concludes the first part of our primer series. We started by building a simple Spring MVC web application, explaining some basics of Across and showing how Across adds default configuration and convention on top of Spring framework. We've built a very simple domain model and user interface that we'll be expanding throughout the series.
In the next part we'll be going over Across web templates and dynamic resource registration.
