Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring. In case you missed it last week, the vast majorty of the SpringOne2GX 2013 agenda has been published, so book now and get the early bird rate on the conference, and airfare! As usual, we've got a ... [More] lot to cover this week, so let's get to it! Spring Batch lead Michael Minella announced Spring Batch 2.2.0 RC2. The new release is chalk full of great new features including support for the Spring Batch Java configuration API and a Spring Data GemFire ItemReader and ItemWriter. Gary Russell just announced Spring Integration 3.0 milestone 2. Be sure to check out the new features and kick the tires! Join me for a webinar on Building REST-ful Services with Spring - June 13th, 2013. I'll discuss OAUTH, Spring MVC and Spring HATEOAS as it relates to REST. Rossen Stoyanchev's blogged about the upcoming support for WebSockets in Spring 4 and it looks very compelling! Gary Russell also just announced the Spring Integration MQTT extension adapter, milestone 1, that makes it easy to work with MQTT - a messaging technology that lends itself to lightweight messaging - from Spring Integration. Oliver Gierke has written up a great response to the question, how do I return a Spring Data page as JSON on Stack Overflow. Long-time readers of this roundup will know about Thymeleaf, the templating engine that breathes new life into your web application view templates and that works really well with Spring. The first, stable 2.0.0 version of Thymeleaf-testing has just been released. Joris Kuipers, on the Trifork blog, has announced a new set of macros for doing form inputs with Spring applications using Freemarker, an alternative - and very powerful - templating engine. Oleg Tsal-Tsalko put together a talk on the new bits in Spring 4. Nicely done, Oleg! Johnathan Mark Smith is back at it again, this time with a video on how to do Java configuration with Spring. Check it out! Maciej Walkowiak put together a great post on how to audit entities using Spring Data MongoDB. The poorly-named Java2J2EE blog has a great, short-and-sweet post on how to setup JPA and Spring MVC with Spring's Java configuration style. I would however discourage users from calling the lifecycle methods on a Spring FactoryBean directly, and instead choose to dereference the configured result: @Bean public EntityManagerFactory emf(){ LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean lcemfb = .. return lcemfb; } @Bean public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(){ EntityManagerFactory emf = emf().getObject(); return new JpaTransactionManager( emf ); } [Less]

We are pleased to announce that the second milestone for Spring Integration 3.0.0 is now available. 64 issues are resolved, including many improvements and new features; see the Project Home Page and Release Notes for more information.

[More] 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 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.

This Week in Spring Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! We are finally running out of SpringOne2GX video recordings.. this is the last week in Spring that you'll see them, so refer back to the replays page for an index. As ... [More] usual, we've got a lot to cover so let's get to it! Spring lead Juergen Hoeller just announced the release of Spring Framework 4.0 M1 and 3.2.3.RELEASE The 3.2.3 update mainly includes updates and fixes related to Java 8 support. The 4.0 milestone, on the other hand, is a look ahead to the many awesome features in Spring 4.0 including support for web sockets, Java EE 7, the @Conditional annotation (in the same vein as the @Profile annotation) and much more, so be sure to check it out! TcServer 2.9.2 is now available! The release contains security fixes and updates, for more details check out the release notes. Jennifer Hickey's talk -- Thinking outside the container - Standalone Applications on CloudFoundry has been released in HD on YouTube. Stephen Bohlen's talk --An Introduction to Spring.NET for Java developers, has been released in HD on YouTube. InfoQ has done a nice writeup of Spring HATEOAS Johnathan Mark Smith has put together a nice post on how to use Spring's Java configuration style. Xavier Padró has put together a nice post on how to communicate within a Spring Web Flow flow Static.com has announced their Hadoop and Cloud Foundry-powered service. Frankly, it looks really cool and cost-effective as a public platform on which to host applications that need a backoffice Hadoop solution. I can't believe I missed this! RabbitMQ 3.1.0 is out (slightly old news) and, to introduce it, you should check out this amazing RabbitMQ 3.1.0 in pictures. The HMKCode blog has a nice post on doing the not-so-well-documented, but common, things with a MyBatis, Spring and jUnit integration. The Java Code Geeks have put together a nice tutorial on how to process radio buttons in a form in Spring MVC. Gerry Tan has put together a nice blog on how to bind form date values with Spring MVC.

Thinking Outside the Container: Running Standalone Apps on Cloud Foundry Some applications simply cannot be contained. Perhaps you want to write a worker that periodically polls for updates or performs a maintenance task. Perhaps you would like ... [More] to use a new lightweight web framework. You don't necessarily want to build a WAR for these types of apps. With Cloud Foundry, you don't have to! In this session, we will build and deploy several types of standalone applications, from distributed workers built with Spring Integration and Akka, to container-less web applications built with vert.x and spray, to bring-your-own-container apps that embed Jetty. If you're a Java or Scala developer who likes to "think outside the container", this talk is for you! About the speaker Jennifer Hickey Jennifer Hickey is a Sr. Software Engineer with SpringSource/VMware, with over a decade of experience in software engineering.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! Some rather exciting projects have been announced this week, and if you can believe it, we're almost out of SpringOne 2012 replay content! Good thing the SpringOne 2013 agenda grid is going live ... [More] very soon, so we'll be able to look ahead. As usual, we've got a lot to cover so let's get to it! In preparation for the agenda grid going live, a lot of new SpringOne 2013 sessions have been accepted: Getting Started with Spring Security 3.2 (Rob Winch) Performance-tuning the Spring Petclinic sample application (Julien Dubois - Ippon Technologies) Spring with Immutability (Matt Stine) Going Beyond Dependency Injection (Mark Secrist) Tooling for Spring's next generation (Martin Lippert, Andy Clement) Futures and Rx Observables: powerful abstractions for consuming web services asynchronously (Chris Richardson) Making Connections with Spring Social (Craig Walls) Troubleshooting Live Java Web Applications (Ashley Puls - New Relic) Spring and Sencha - A Match Made In Heaven, or at least the Cloud - (Jay Marshall + TBA, Sencha) In-memory data and compute on top of Hadoop (Jags Ramnarayan) Getting started with Spring Data and Apache Hadoop (Thomas Risberg) Inside Cloud Foundry: An Architectural Review - (Dekel Tankel) Build Your Very Own Private Cloud Foundry (Matt Stine) Thymeleaf: improving your Spring view layer with natural templates (Emanuel Rabina - HP) Jon Brisbin announced the Reactor project. The Reactor project aims to provide a solid foundation for asynchronous IO-based applications, on top of which it is natural to provide integrations for technologies like Grails and Spring. Reactor already features a good multi-language story with support for Groovy and Java (and, particularly, the upcoming Java 8 release!) Be sure to check this out, especially the comments section if you have questions about how this compares to other asynch technology! Spring Security lead Rob Winch has been busily enhancing the Spring Security and Spring Security OAuth Java Configuration story. He's got a first cut of the Spring Security OAuth Java Configuration API available, and I'm sure he'd appreciate any feedback on the new DSL, so definitely be sure to check it out! Nice work, Rob! Webinar on Thursday May 16th with Chris Richardson, author of POJOs in Action, on Decomposing Application for Deployability and Scalabilty. Register Now! This is an essential talk to understanding the new application architectures discussed in the SpringOne 2012 keynote - how to break down large applications into small, scalable, discrete services. It's tough not to use NetFlix's Asgard as a great example of this done well, an example that many of you may recognize. Join Broadleaf Commerce's Andre Azzolini for a Webinar on Tuesday, May 28th as they discuss their Lessons Learned Moving from GWT to SpringMVC. Paul Chapman introduces some of the diverse support for content negotiation in Spring MVC on the SpringSource blog. Chris Harris's talk, the Spring Data MongoDB Project, from SpringOne2GX 2012 is now available in HD on YouTube! Lee Faus's talk, Extreme Makeover - Application Edition, from SpringOne2GX 2012 is now available HD on YouTube! The JIWHIZ blog, and blogger Yuan Ji, has put together a nice post introducing Spring's Java configuration support. This post - from blogger Chris Wong in a January post called "JmsTemplate is not evil" - explains some of the subtleties of using Spring's CachingConnectionFactory with a raw ConnectionFactory and then, for extra points, introduces one approach to dramatically speeding up ActiveMQ, in particular. The HMKcode blog has a nice, exhaustive post introducing how to use the jQuery-file-upload plugin with Spring MVC. Have you taken a look at HATEOAS yet? HATEOAS is a design pattern, an approach, for building better RESTful web services. Spring HATEOAS makes doing so dead simple atop Spring MVC, and this blog by Geraint Jones introduces Spring HATEAOS very nicely Blogger Alexey Zvolinskiy answers a common question: how do I bind checkboxes to the model object that's sent back and forth to the server in Spring MVC? Our friend @baeldung maintains a daily Twitter feed of awesome posts about Spring on StackOverflow, and I think he's dug up some absolutely amazing content. One post answers a question I am frequently asked: how do I enumerate all the Spring MVC @Controller-annotated beans at runtime? Another great post that I found while trawling through the @SpringAtSO handle was this post, explaining how to propagate request-scoped attributes beyond the thread of the current request. This post applies generally to any situation where a request-scoped attribute needs to propagate beyond its original thread and request. [Less]

The Spring Data MongoDB Project This talk will introduce the Spring Data MongoDB project. Spring Data MongoDB provides a feature rich library for writing MongoDB applications in Java. It builds upon the Spring Framework and as such promotes ... [More] a POJO programming model with a strong emphasis on productivity. The Spring MongoDB Project provides a rich object mapper, a MongoTemplate helper class to simplify common document access operations using query, criteria, and update DSLs, automatic repository interface implementations, QueryDSL integration, and cross-store persistence. About the speaker Chris Harris Chris Harris is a European Solution Architect at 10gen. Prior to 10gen, Chris was EMEA Architect at SpringSource responsible for evangelising vFabric products and defining architectural solutions for customers across EMEA. With the acquisition of SpringSource by VMware, Chris focused on how virtualization and cloud computing can be used to address the complexity within the Enterprise. Before joining SpringSource, Chris spent his time at RedHat/JBoss providing consultancy to major clients across EMEA. More About Chris »   Extreme Makeover - Application Edition In this episode we look at an old worn out application that has migrated from 3 different teams and 15 team lead changes. The poor application is now showing its years and doesn't perform like it did when it was first architected. Now through the help of a new platform, this application has an opportunity to shine again. Taking a look at past projects that have gone through similar transformations we will look at patterns and processes that can be leveraged to redesign traditional JEE applications into lightweight applications using Spring, CXF, SpringMVC, and SOA. Finally, we will walk through code examples to show how quickly applications can be developed using this new stack.   Lee Faus My career began with a need to teach and mentor.
