Spring has undergone two major amendments is the first in October 2006 the Spring2.0, and another in November 2007 the Spring2.5.
Introduction:

(3) Annotation (Notes) driver configuration
Spring2.5 the introduction of a complete set of Annotation such as: @ Resource, @ Autowired section oriented programming, etc. (AOP):
(1) a more simple definition of AOP XML configuration support from the JAVA object to the development of the cross-section
(2) of the @ AspectJ support by adding a bean (...) pointcut support elements, as defined in the spring of the specified bean name matching the name
(3) of the AspectJ load-time weaving between the support layer:
(1) XML declaration transaction more easy to configure previous versions of Service will continue to support the configuration, Spring2.5 weaving support at the time of loading and annotation-driven transaction management, it is through the context: load-time-weaver and tx: annotation-driven mode = "aspectj" joint use of the.
(2) Websphere transaction management to support the automatic detection of the integrity of the underlying platform JTA services, you can use Spring 2.5 new tx: jta-transaction-manager configuration element. It will automatically detect BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere, the right register PlatformTransactionManager.
