The Ebean Spring module provides two main things:
- Configuration for using Spring Transactions with Ebean
- Spring Factory bean for configuring an EbeanServer in a more typical spring fashion
As part of the download you get a simple example that shows how to configure and use Ebean. This includes registering entity beans, specifying DDL generation etc.
