Dear Spring Community!

Recently we published the Spring Integration Java DSL: Line by line tutorial, which uses Java 8 Lambdas extensively. We received some feedback that this is good introduction to the DSL, but a similar tutorial is needed for those users, who can't move to the Java 8 or aren't yet familiar with Lambdas, but wish to take advantage

So, to help those Spring Integration users who want to moved from XML configuration to Java & Annotation configuration, we provide this line-by-line tutorial to demonstrate that, even without Lambdas, we gain a lot from Spring Integration…

Dear Spring Community!

Just after the Spring Integration Java DSL 1.0 GA release announcement I want to introduce the Spring Integration Java DSL to you as a line by line tutorial based on the classic Cafe Demo integration sample. We describe here Spring Boot support, Spring Framework Java and Annotation configuration, the IntegrationFlow feature and pay tribute to Java 8 Lambda support which was an inspiration for the DSL style. Of course, it is all backed by the Spring Integration Core project.

For those, who are not interested in Java 8 yet, we provide similar tutorial without Lambdas: Spring Integration Java DSL (pre Java 8): Line by line tutorial…

Refactoring and Breaking Changes

While still supporting earlier Java versions, the Spring Integration Java DSL is primarily positioned for Java 8 and its Lambda support. We have removed several functional interfaces in favor of similar interfaces from Java 8: Consumer<T>, Function<T, R> etc. Of course, to support backward…

Milestone 2 includes several bug fixes, some new features and further improvements.

Thank you to all who tried milestone 1, provided feedback, raised issues, and shared their thoughts.

Here is a summary of major changes since Milestone 1:

Lambda Handler

As you may have noticed, the use of Java 8 Lambdas is the power tool to make this DSL convenient and readable. One community request we received was to allow the declaration of a Lambda for the .handle() EIP-method instead of having to declare a POJO and use it as a method invocation. But one concern was to not lose "runtime type conversion". However, you can't get the generic type for Lambdas. After some investigation we found the solution by additing a type argument. Hence, several new methods have been added to the IntegrationFlowBuilder…
