Spring Boot 2.0 M4 is just around the corner and this will be a nice way to test the last release candidate of Spring Framework before GA. If you want to take an early look at Spring Boot 2, and we’d love to hear your feedback if you do, please go to start.spring.io and select Spring Boot 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT

Evolving Spring Initializr

Engineering | October 06, 2015 | ...

We're happy to release today the new version of Spring Initializr at https://start.spring.io !

What started out as a small, in-house web application that generates Spring Boot projects, grew into something bigger than we expected. You can now use Spring Initializr on the web, in your favorite IDE (Eclipse STS and IntelliJ IDEA) and even with your command-line tools (try curl https://start.spring.io).

In the meantime, the Spring portfolio is growing and we received a lot of useful feedback from the Spring community. Because nothing beats actual data, we've improved the service to export its metrics to a centralized redis instance, before the summer. This allows us to keep a reliable set of statistics for a long period of activity (and regardless of the number of instances we deploy on Pivotal Web Services

Spring Framework 4.1 - handling static web resources

Engineering | July 24, 2014 | ...

This week, Juergen announced the Spring Framework 4.1 release candidate. Now is the time to test those new features and see how they can make your applications better!

One of those new features is the flexible resolution and transformation of static web resources. Spring framework already allows you to serve static resources using ResourceHttpRequestHandlers. This feature gives you more power and new possibilities.

ResourceResolvers and ResourceTransformers

ResourceResolvers and ResourceTransformers are at the very core of this new feature.

ResourceResolvers can resolve resources, given their URL path. They can also resolve the externally facing public URL path for clients to use, given their internal resource path. ResourceTransformers

Project Sagan: client-side architecture

Engineering | April 28, 2014 | ...

Now that we know a bit more about JavaScript modules, we're ready to dive into the client-side architecture of the Sagan application.

Note: If you haven't read previous blog posts on the Sagan project, you should know that this is the Spring reference application that powers this blog and everything else at spring.io. Previous posts showed out to run this application, how we do zero downtime deployments and also how we upgraded Sagan to use the latest JDK8 features.

In this post, I want to walk through the basics of the client-side architecture in the Sagan application:

  1. Why is the client application in a separate sagan-client project module?
  2. How is it linked with the sagan-site module?
  3. What are npm, bower and gulp?
  4. How do those tools work together to make the client application?

JavaScript modularity (without the buzzwords)

Engineering | April 11, 2014 | ...

Almost ten years ago Adrian Colyer wrote a memorable blog post, giving the best explanation on aspect oriented programming (AOP) out there: clear and simple style, accurate content, no buzzwords. If you've taken a look at the the earlier two posts in this series, you may have noticed some of our architecture choices in the client module of the Sagan application, including the use of JavaScript modules.

In this post, I want to walk you through the basics of JavaScript modules in the style of Adrian's post: clear, simple, accurate, no buzzwords!

Why JavaScript needs modularity too
