Spring Framework

Join David Turanski (SpringSource) and Damien Dallimore (Splunk) as they discuss and demonstrate Splunk and Spring Integration. Spring Integration provides a number of adapters out of the box to support various transports, such as JMS, File, HTTP ... [More] , Web Services, and Mail. They will introduce the Splunk channel adapter, a new entry to the out of the box adapters available for Spring Integration, which allows data to flow through Spring Integration to interact with data being ingested or queried by Splunk. For those who may be unfamiliar, Splunk collects, indexes and harnesses machine-generated big data so you can monitor, search, analyze, visualize and act on large streams of real-time and historical machine data. Demo Source is located at: https://github.com/damiendallimore/spring-integration-splunk-webex-demo About the speakers Damien Dallimore Damien is the first Developer Evangelist at Splunk where he engages with the developer community to build big data applications on top of Splunk using Splunk's SDKs and Application framework. A fervent JVM fan, he has a particular interest in the new breed of alternate JVM languages and actually thinks that logging is cool. Prior to joining Splunk, Damien paid his mortgage wearing many different technical hats coding,hacking,engineering and architecting software and solutions around the globe in a variety of industries, primarily in the Enterprise Java space. He is a fanatical All Black's rugby supporter, loves scuba diving and golf and can hold his own on guitar in a blues jam.

Release Notes.

Dear Spring Community, Today we’re excited to announce that rest.js is now part of Cujo.js and that rest.js 0.9 has been released. https://github.com/cujojs/rest rest.js is a RESTful HTTP client. It goes far beyond the typical XMLHttpRequest ... [More] abstraction developers are accustomed to in other frameworks. rest.js is built upon composable interceptors that incrementally add new functionality to a client. Configured clients are tamper proof and can be safely shared within an application. If a portion of the application needs specific behavior, it can chain further interceptors on the common client creating a new client that’s independent of the remainder of the application. As a quick example, if your application requires basic authentication, you can configure the basicAuth interceptor with the username and password once, rather then being forced to add the credentials to every place in the application that makes a request. When your application adds new authentication requirements, such as oAuth, you only need to replace the basicAuth interceptor with the oAuth interceptor in one place. All requests made with the resulting client get the new behavior automatically. Out of the box rest.js works in every major browser (and then some) plus Node.js. There are interceptors for content negotiation, HATEOAS, basic auth, oAuth (the implicit flow), error detection, retries, timeouts, JSONP and of course fall backs for IE’s XHR and cross domain request support. It’s dirt easy to create new interceptors to apply your own behavior. [Less]
