Dear Spring Community,

I'm pleased to announce that the 1.0.2 maintenance release of Spring BlazeDS Integration, the open source solution for building Spring-powered RIAs with Adobe Flex, is now available.

Download | Reference Documentation | JavaDocs | Changelog

Along with a number of bug fixes and minor enhancements, we have added full support for using Spring Security 3 to secure a Flex application using the same integration mechanisms as we've previously provided only for Spring Security 2.0.x. In order to effectively demonstrate this support, we've added an additional profile to the Test Drive's Maven build that will configure the application to use Spring 3 and Spring Security 3. See the reference guide for details on how to trigger this alternate profile.

As always, I encourage anyone interested to get involved by trying out the release and giving us feedback in the community forum and Jira. We continually get great feedback from people having success with Spring BlazeDS Integration in their projects, and we look forward to hearing more about your experiences. We'll now be shifting focus entirely to version 1.5, which will add support for BlazeDS 4, and will bring with it a number of new features, including an addon for Spring Roo. This is a great time to make yourself heard if you'd like to help shape the future direction of the project.
