Spring Tips: RSocket and Spring Security

Engineering
Josh Long

Hi, Spring fans! In this first installment of Spring Tips season 7, we look at how to lock down RSocket services with Spring Security.

By Josh Long (@starbuxman)

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, we look at using Spring Security and RSocket together. RSocket is a payload and platform agonostic wire protocol developed by engineers at Netflix and Facebook that supports the Reactive Streams concepts on the wire. The protocol is a stateful-connection centric protocol: a requester node connects and stays connected to another responder node. Once connected, either side can transmit information at any time. Connections are multiplexed, meaning one connection can handle multiple requests. RSocket is designed from the ground up to support propagating out-of-band information like headers and service health information, in addition to the payloads themselves. So, one user may use the connection with one service, or multiple users may use the same connection.

Announcing: The NEW Spring Website!

News and Events
Ben Wilcock

Spring is constantly evolving and always innovating while being consistent where it matters: delivering a reliable framework to help you build maintainable software, faster. In the last few years, the Spring contributors have worked hard to bring the predictable Spring experience to microservices, serverless, streams, reactive, batch, data, and new languages like Kotlin. Over the coming year, you’ll see many more examples of this, including some cool new features that we’re just dying to share with you.

Spring Integration 5.3 Milestone 2 Available

Releases
Artem Bilan

On behalf of the Spring Integration team, I’m pleased to announce the second milestone for Spring Integration 5.3.

This release ships several bug fixes, a bunch of new features and improvements and will be picked up by Spring Boot 2.3 M2 in the near future.

It can be downloaded from our milestone repository:

compile "org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-core:5.3.0.M2"

The most important new features are:

  • With the IntegrationFlowExtension implementation we now can right our own Java DSL for Spring Integration. It allows to introduce custom or composed EIP-operators. The existing IntegrationComponentSpec implementations can now be extended for additional (missed?) options. So, now any custom and reusable solutions in Java DSL can be implemented in the target project:

public class CustomIntegrationFlowDefinition
        extends IntegrationFlowExtension<CustomIntegrationFlowDefinition> {

    public CustomIntegrationFlowDefinition upperCaseAfterSplit() {
        return split()
                .transform("payload.toUpperCase()");
    }

    public CustomIntegrationFlowDefinition customAggregate(
                    Consumer<CustomAggregatorSpec> aggregator) {
        return register(new CustomAggregatorSpec(), aggregator);
    }

}

public class CustomAggregatorSpec extends AggregatorSpec {

    CustomAggregatorSpec() {
        outputProcessor(group ->
                group.getMessages()
                        .stream()
                        .map(Message::getPayload)
                        .map(String.class::cast)
                        .collect(Collectors.joining(", ")));
    }

}

@Bean
public IntegrationFlow customFlowDefinition() {
    return
            new CustomIntegrationFlowDefinition()
                    .log()
                    .upperCaseAfterSplit()
                    .channel("innerChannel")
                    .customAggregate(customAggregatorSpec ->
                            customAggregatorSpec.expireGroupsUponCompletion(true))
                    .logAndReply();
}

  • HTTP and WebFlux outbound channel adapters now support an UriBuilderFactory.EncodingMode option instead of previous`encodeUri` boolean flag.

  • The AMQP outbound channel adapter has a new property multiSend allowing multiple messages to be sent within the scope of one RabbitTemplate invocation.

  • The AMQP inbound channel adapter now supports a listener container with the consumerBatchEnabled property set to true.

See What’s New? in the Reference Manual for more information.

The next and last M3 milestone is scheduled for March before entering the RC phase in April. Expect an upgrade to the latest milestone releases: Spring Data Neumann, Spring Security 5.3 etc.

We’re looking forward to your feedback!
