The latest on Azure Active Directory integration

Whether you are building a web API, mobile front end or a good-old fashioned desktop application, identity and access management will always be foundational pieces that are front and center in writing software. Azure offers a great platform to democratize your application development journey, as it not only offers a cloud-base identity service, but also deep integration with the rest of the Azure ecosystem. Spring Security has made it easy to secure your Spring based applications with powerful abstractions and extensible interfaces. However as powerful as the Spring framework can be, it is not tailored to a specific identity provider. The Azure Spring Boot Starter for Azure Active Directory is the result of collaborative efforts from Microsoft and VMware to provide the most optimal way to connect your application to an Azure AD tenant and protect resource APIs with Azure Active Directory. Case in point, there are scenarios where you may want to authorize against multiple resource servers, and you can simply do that by including multiple authorization clients in your application configuration.

YMNNALFT: Express Yourself with SpEL

Welcome to another installment of You May Not Need Another Library For That (YMNNALFT)! I’ve spent a lot of time since 2016 illuminating (or trying to, anyway!) some of the more enormous opportunities in the Spring ecosystem in my Spring Tips videos. Today, however, I come to you in a different spirit, wanting to focus on the little, sometimes hidden, gems that do fantastic things and that might spare you an additional third-party dependency and its implied complexity.

Do your users want a convenient, bite-sized way to customize the behavior of your application? Expression Languages are purpose-built to allow low-touch customization of application behavior. Expression languages have a ton of applications. They can help you evaluate things! Perhaps they could run simple predicate logic that a user has configured. An expression language can dereference environment values, glue things together, support templating, customize access control and authorization predicates, support customized messaging flow routing and workflow event handler logic, and so much more. A good expression language is so useful that we built the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) and shipped it with Spring Framework 3.0 waaaaay back in 2009!
