Greenhouse is a Java web application serving as the official reference application for Spring technologies such as Spring MVC, Security, Social, Mobile, and Integration. It also provided community features like member sign-up, badges, event management, and social network connections.

Use cases

• learn how to build a full web application with Spring MVC and Spring Security
• see an example of OAuth-based social login with Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
• study a reference implementation of Spring Social and Spring Mobile
• find sample code for Spring Integration and email templating
• understand how to structure a Spring web app deployed to Tomcat

When to choose

• you are maintaining or studying legacy Spring projects and want a historical reference implementation
• you want to see how Spring Social, Mobile, and Security were used together in a real app

When to avoid

• you are starting a new Spring project and want current best practices
• you need actively maintained software with recent releases and support
• you use modern Spring Boot instead of classic Spring MVC with WAR deployment
