Introduction

MongoDb Outbound Channel Adapter

You can see the simplest configuration of the MongoDb Channel Adapter below:

<int-mongodb:outbound-channel-adapter id="deafultAdapter"/>

It will be initialized with the default instance of the MongoDbFactory (the default bean name is 'mongoDbFactory') otherwise you can provide its reference via mongodb-factory attribute.

Now you can run the MongoDbOutboundAdapterDemo. After running it open terminal window and start MongoDb CLI

$> mongo

Once in MongoDb CLI type a query:

> db.data.find({})

And you should see the 3 document entries we just created:

{ "_id" : ObjectId("505ff83d03649ed6881d…

Introduction

What is the Spring Integration Scala DSL?

The Spring Integration Scala DSL is a Domain Specific Language written in Scala with the goals of:

• providing a strongly-typed alternative to XML configuration for Spring Integration
• raising awareness about Spring Integration in Scala community
• providing first class integration with various Scala frameworks and products such as Akka
• providing seamless integration with Java where Scala developers can still leverage their existing Java investments

One thing we would like to point out is that the Spring Integration Scala DSL is not itself a new EIP framework. Rather, it's a Scala-based DSL that sits on top of the Java-based Spring Integration framework, and, in the first milestone, the DSL itself still relies heavily on Java types from the Spring Integration API. However, as it progresses through subsequent milestones, the DSL will evolve to become increasingly Scala-esque. We do believe that such close integration with the existing…

Based on your overwhelming requests for more Spring Integration samples and more usable structure we are pleased to make the following announcement:

Starting with the current release of Spring Integration the samples will no longer be included with Spring Integration distribution. Instead we've switched to a much simpler collaborative model that should promote better community participation and community contributions. Samples now have a dedicated Git SCM repository and a dedicated JIRA Issue Tracking system. Sample development will also have its own lifecycle which is not dependent on the…

We are pleased to announce the first installment of the 'Loan Broker' Reference Implementation. 'Loan Broker' concept has become a de-facto reference domain for showcasing Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) - by Gregor Hohpe ad Bobby Woolf, and this installment of the Loan Broker RI demonstrates how Enterprise Integration Patterns are realized and applied using Spring Integration (SI) framework.

Introduction

At the core of EIP architecture are the very simple yet powerful concepts of Pipes and Filters and Message. Endpoints (Filters) are connected with one another via Channels (Pipes). The producing endpoint sends Message to the Channel and the Message is retrieved by the Consuming endpoint.  This architecture is meant to define various mechanisms that describe How information is exchanged between the endpoints, without any awareness of What those endpoints are or What information they are exchanging, thus providing for a very …

Introduction

Imagine you are in the secured session (you are logged on and are authorized to access a particular resource), but your security infrastructure team has updated your rights and privileges. Perhaps you were given more rights and privileges or perhaps your rights were completely revoked. . . The problem is that your secured session is registered in session registry and until you log-off/log-on the Principal which represents you in this secured session will not be recreated. And what if the situation is even more dramatic (after all we are talking security here). . . You are a disgruntled employe…

This is the first part of what I hope will become a multipart series of small posts showing practical examples around Spring Security customization. The requirements for these customizations are not imaginary and all came from the field. . .
