New SpringFramework.net release v 1.0.2.

• Support for .NET 2.0
• Support for .NET 2.0 Generics
• A new object expression language
• Method Injection functionality
• AOP AutoProxy functionality
• Fix ResourceSetMessageSource not falling back to base resources
• Fix parent objects not being referenced via their aliases in child object definitions
• VS.NET 2005 style API documentation

As an avid daily user of Springframework.net v1.0 - I am glad to have the method injection and the AST based ‘object expression’ stuff would have been useful. While working on Stuck ObjectBinding - we used the Springframework’s (now deprecated) ObjectNavigator. We had to put a layer of abstraction above it to make it workable - I imagine the new ‘object expression’ framework in spring in combination with some newer databinding stuff would have come in handy. I have also been doing lots of parsing work for Hydrogue - my C# to java parser written in Ruby. The whole AST parser thing is deep and interesting. These days - most folks (the spring.net folks included) are using Antlr a generalized lexer/ parser toolkit. Interesting to say the least. I however have gone the other way … for now.

I will update as I get into the latest stuff from the Spring.net contingent. I am planning (and typing up a post in parallel to this one) a Spring seminar @ the new Finetix offices. I guess this is some new fuel for that fire.
