Spring Boot 1.2.2 has been released and is available now from repo.spring.io and Maven Central.
This maintenance release includes a significant number of fixes and is a recommended upgrade for all users.
We’ve also managed to sneak support for JMustache into this release, see this application for an example of how to use it.
Spring Boot 1.1.11 has been released and is available now from repo.spring.io and Maven Central.
This maintenance release includes a number of fixes and is recommended for anyone still on the 1.1.x line. We’re only planning critical bug fixes for 1.1.x from now on so please consider upgrading to 1.2.2 if possible.
We are please to announce the release of Spring Security 4.0.0.RC2.
We were very keen on doing a GA release, but due to community feedback we decided that another RC was necessary. Ultimately, this release resolved nearly 50 tickets.
A summary of changes can be seen below:
Assuming everything goes smoothly, the plan is to do a GA release in approximately two weeks. In the meantime, make sure to try everything out and give us feedback!
I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Security 3.2.6.RELEASE. This release contains some important fixes (many addressing Java Configuration and Spring Boot issues). You can find a complete list of changes in the changelog.

Polymer is the latest web framework out of Google. Designed completely around the emerging Web Components standards, it has the lofty goal of making it easy to build apps based on these low level primitives. Along with Polymer comes a new set of Elements (buttons, dialog boxes and such) based on the ideas of "Material Design". These technologies together make it easy to build responsive, componentized "Single Page" web applications that work for browsers on PCs or mobile devices. But what about the backend, and how do we make these apps secure? In this talk Scott Deeg will take you through an introduction to Polmyer and its related technologies, and then through the build out of a full blown cloud based app with a secure, RESTful backend based on Spring REST, Spring Cloud, and Spring Security and using Thymeleaf for backend rendering jobs. At the end he will show the principles applied in a tool he's currently building. The talk will be mainly code walk through and demo, and assumes familiarity with Java/Spring and JavaScript.

JHipster focuses on generating a high quality application with a Java back-end using an extensive set of Spring technologies; Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data, Spring MVC (providing a framework for websockets, REST and MVC), etc. an Angular.js front-end and a suite of pre-configured development tools like Yeoman, Maven, Gradle, Grunt, Gulp.js and Bower. JHipster creates a fully configured Spring Boot application with a set of pre-defined screens for user management, monitoring, and logging. The generated Spring Boot application is specifically tailored to make working with Angular.js a smoother experience. Join Julien for a quick-live coding session to build a simple application, and deploy it to Cloud Foundry.

Pivotal Spring Security, Spring Boot and Angular JS all have nice features for making it really easy to produce modern applications, so there is potentially a lot of value in making them work together very smoothly. Things to consider are cookies, headers, native clients, various security vulnerabilities and how modern browser technology can help us to avoid them. In this session we show how nice features of the component frameworks can be integrated simply to provide a pleasant and secure user experience. We start with a very basic single-server implementation and scale it up in stages, splitting out backend resources and authentication to separate services. The final state includes a simple API Gateway on the front end implemented declaratively using Spring Cloud, and using this we are able to neatly sidestep a lot of the problems people encounter securing a javascript front end with a distributed back end.

Spring Data REST bridges the gap between the convenient data access layers provided by Spring Data's repository abstraction and hypermedia-driven REST web services, effectively taking out the boilerplate needed during implementation. This talk will give a quick overview of the project, explain fundamental design decisions and introduce new features of the latest version (namely service documentation and discoverability). We will then look at the Spring-A-Gram sample application (built using Spring Data REST), focusing on the implementation of the frontend bits and pieces.

In this presentation we will examine various scalability options in order to improve the robustness and performance of your Spring Batch applications. We start out with a single threaded Spring Batch application that we will refactor so we can demonstrate how to run it using: * Concurrent Steps * Remote Chunking * AsyncItemProcessor and AsyncItemWriter * Remote Partitioning Additionally, we will show how you can deploy Spring Batch applications to Spring XD which provides high availability and failover capabilities. Spring XD also allows you to integrate Spring Batch applications with other Big Data processing needs.
