The sheer volume of non-human-generated data in modern applications can easily overtake a traditional single-threaded, blocking design model. Reactor aims to address this volume, by providing a foundational framework for JVM applications -- ... [More] applications that need high throughput when performing reasonably small chunks of stateless, asynchronous processing. Join Jon Brisbin as he discusses the motivations behind the project, the design patterns and existing technology that inspired the project, and how it fits in the asynchronous ecosystem today, as a teaser to his upcoming session at SpringOne 2GX 2013.

Welcome back to another installment of This Week in Spring. As usual, we've got a lot to cover. In particular, you'll note that this week's roundup features a lot of great Spring Batch content. So, let's get to it -- and don't forget the SpringOne2GX ... [More] early bird rate ends Aug 9th! I did a webinar introducing how to build REST APIs with Spring's rich REST stack a few weeks ago, and I'm happy to report that the talk - which introduces Spring MVC, Spring HATEOAS, Spring REST Shell, Spring Data REST, Spring Security OAuth and Spring Social in terms of a simple sample application that we refine - is now available on the SpringSourceDev YouTube Channel. As I mentioned last week, the slides are available on my SlideShare.net page and the code is available on my GitHub page. Enjoy, and don't hesitate to feedback/ask questions at josh(dot)long(at)SpringSource(dot)com! InfoQ has a great post introducing JSR 352, the Java Batch specification. If you're a Spring Batch user, then a lot of this will look very familiar! I think this is a particularly nice JSR, and encourage you to check it out. Spring Chris Schaefer has put together a brilliant Spring Batch refcard for DZone which went up yesterday, head over to DZone for the free download. Craig Walls has announced that Spring Social Facebook 1.0.3 is now available. The new release addresses breaking changes in the upcoming Facebook API revision.

Hantsy Bai has put together a very nice post explaining how to create a Spring project from the Spring Tool Suite. [Less]

Today's applications don't exist in isolation. REST applications and web services are a great way to connect applications together. REST is a design principle that imposes no constraints on the client except basic HTTP support, which all platforms ... [More] provide. Designing REST services, however, is still as much art as it is science, as standards are emerging. Join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long as he introduces some of the ins-and-outs of REST API design with Spring, building on Spring MVC, Spring HATEOAS and answers some commonly- asked questions like how to secure REST-ful services, and how to tailor payload serialization to your specific use cases. About the speaker Josh Long Josh Long is the Spring developer advocate. Josh is the lead author on Apress’ Spring Recipes, 2nd Edition, and a SpringSource committer and contributor. When he's not hacking on code, he can be found at the local Java User Group or at the local coffee shop. Josh likes solutions that push the boundaries of the technologies that enable them. His interests include scalability, BPM, grid processing, mobile computing and so-called "smart" systems. He blogs at blog.springsource.org or joshlong.com. More About Josh » [Less]

The release candidate for the upcoming Spring-AMQP 1.2.0 release for Java is now available. See the release notes for more information. This release includes a few additional improvements and features over and above those in the previous milestone. See the project page for links to downloads and documentation.

Dear Spring Community, I'm happy to announce the release of Spring Social Facebook 1.0.3.RELEASE. Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework that enables you to connect your Java applications to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such ... [More] as Facebook and Twitter. Spring Social Facebook 1.0.3.RELEASE is made available to address breaking changes forthcoming in Facebook's Graph API to be applied on July 10, 2013. Specifically, the following breaking changes have been addressed: The removal of the 'count' property in a list of comments. Deprecation of checkins via the /checkins resource. All checkins should be done as posts with a location now. Removal of the 'version' property for groups. The Graph API no longer returns images for photos with sizes larger than the original image size. In addition, a handful of small improvements were made to Spring Social Facebook's API binding. See the changelog for details. To get the software, download the release distribution or change the Spring Social Facebook dependency in your build file to reference 1.0.3.RELEASE. Important: This release includes changes to enable Spring Social Facebook to work after the July 2013 Breaking Changes. In order for this version of Spring Social Facebook to work prior to July 10, 2013, you'll need to configure your application at Facebook to enable the July 2013 Breaking Changes. Within Facebook's application configuration, go to "Settings->Advanced" and click the "Enabled" radio button next to "July 2013 Breaking Changes". We invite you to discuss this release as well as the continuing work toward Spring Social 1.1.0 in the Spring Social Forum and to report any bugs or improvements in the Spring Social Facebook issue tracker.

Welcome back to another installation of This Week in Spring! What a week! We're fast approaching the final stretch of the journey to SpringOne2GX 2013 and preparations are underway at full tilt. This year's going to be memorable. I wish I could tell ... [More] you more, but trust me when I say you need to be at this show this year! :) Anyway, let's get on with the roundup! Mark Pollack has announced the release of Spring XD 1.0 milestone 1. Spring XD is a unified, distributed, and extensible system for data ingestion, real time analytics, batch processing, and data export. The project’s goal is to simplify the development of big data applications. Join Tony Erksine from Liberty University on June 27th as he instructs us How to talk Spring and Influence People, a pragmatic lesson on soft skills and technology adoption strategies needed to help get other people in your company excited about and using, new technology -- in this case, with Spring. Want a pass to SpringOne 2GX 2013? If you're a Spring champion, show off your stuff on our champions forum and follow these instructions by June 21, 2013. You might be one of our 5 lucky winners! (If you're a Groovy & Grails or Cloud Foundry champion, never fear, we will be rolling out future contests for you!) Head over to gopivotal.com for the next blog in the Hadoop 101 series -- How to Use Spring Batch with Spring for Apache Hadoop. We're excited to launch A Week of Spring in conjunction with Manning Publications. Check out this post for more information on great discounts for titles covering SpringSource technologies! Every day we're posting a new 50% discount code for two books. Our pal Tobias Fiohre is back at it again, this time with not one, not two, but three posts on Java configuration support for Spring Batch, just released in the latest Spring Batch 2.2.0.RELEASE of Spring Batch. The first post looks at how Spring Batch's Java configuration support compares with the XML equivalents. The second post looks at the Spring Batch StepScope, which lets you configure jobs with parameters provided at runtime (as opposed to design-time. The third post looks at how to use the new configuration style with Spring's environment profiles feature. Johnathan Mark Smith has put together a post on how use Spring MVC and Spring MVC Test Xavier Padró's has put together a nice post that introduces Spring's core Aspect-Oriented Programming support. The video replay of the webinar from the Broadleaf Commerce project on their migration from GWT to Spring MVC is now online at our SpringSourceDev YouTube channel. This isn't strictly Spring-related, but I felt it worth mentioning: Java 9 is slated to drop support for compiling Java 1.4-or-older source code. Java 8 is approaching (finally!), and Spring 4 will offer first class support for Java 8 lambas. Java 6 is EOL as of February 2013, so if you're not already on Java 7, consider just making the jump to Java 8 when it drops early next year. If you're migrating right now, definitely consider looking at Java 7 at a minimum. Spring, of course, works well with older JDK versions, but we often provide functionality specific to newer language releases if they're available. For example, we debuted annotations (like @Transactional) when Java 5 made it feasible, as an addition to our then primary support for commons annotations, even while we supported Java 1.3 and 1.4. Java 8 is no different. I did a webinar last week on building REST APIs with Spring. The webinar video will be up soon on our SpringSource Developer YouTube channel. For the many who've asked, the code is available on my GitHub account, and the slides are available on my SlideShare account. Check them out! Petri Kainulainen has put together a really detailed, easily-read post on how to plugin a property from a property file when configuring the @Scheduled annotation's CRON expression [Less]
