Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at the reactive programming support in Spring Security 5.0. We'll look at it in terms of its integration with Spring WebFlux, the reactive web runtime and framework in Spring Framework 5.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This last week's been nuts! So much good stuff on offer. Spring Framework 5.0 is now available! And with Spring Framework 5.0 comes a deluge of releases, all of which you'll see in this post. Also, this week I - and others from the Pivotal and Spring teams - are at JavaOne and I hope you'll come find us and say hi at our booth or the various talks.

• Last week I looked at using Spring Framework 5's support for building reactive websocket-based applications.
• Spring AMQP and Spring Integration lead Gary Russell has just announced Spring AMQP 2.0.RC2.
• At long last, Spring Framework 5.0.GA is here! The new release integrates with Project Reactor, includes a reactive web runtime, Kotlin extensions, and baselines on Java EE 7 and Java 8. The new release has entirely too many new things to hope to capture here so check out the release blog and then check out the What's New post
• Spring and Reactor ninja Simon Baslé just announced the Reactor Bismuth release…

On behalf of the Spring Data engineering team I am happy to announce the general availability of Spring Data Kay. It's the first major revision since Spring Data's inception in 2009 and thus packed with tons of features. Here are the most significant ones:

• Upgrade to Spring Framework 5.0, Java 8 and JavaEE 7 as baseline
• Revised repository APIs (better method names, Optional etc.)
• A revised repository composition model
• Support for reactive data access for Cassandra, Couchbase, MongoDB and Redis
• Addition of Spring Data Geode to the release train
• Use of nullability annotations and advanced runtime checks on those
• Kotlin support for null-safety and immutable data classes supported through Kotlin constructors
• General Java 9 compatibility

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at building a Kotlin-language reactive websocket-based application with the new web runtime and framework, Spring WebFlux, in Spring Framework 5. In order to keep things interesting, we also connect our websocket-backend to a frontend written using an Angular 4 and TypeScript.

Hi Spring fans! What a crazy wonderful week it's been! I'm back in San Francisco talking to customers and local partners about all things Pivotal and, also, just enjoying some fun in the San Francisco Sun while playing with Java 9 . There's so much to like in this new release and so much to look forward to and, of course, Spring Framework 5 is Java 9 ready out of the box.

• Spring IO Platform lead Andy Wilkinson just announced Spring IO Platform Brussels SR5. The new release includes Spring AMQP 1.7.4, Spring Boot 1.5.7, Spring Data Ingalls SR7, Spring Framework 4.3.11, Spring Integration 4.3.12, Spring Loaded 1.2.8, and Spring Web Flow 2.4.6. Lots to like in this new release so get the bits now!
• Spring Tool Suite lead Martin Lippert just posted on how to overcome some issues when running STS on macOS High Sierra 10.13.
• Spring Cloud Task lead Michael Minella just announced Spring Cloud Task 1.2.2.RELEASE…

The new version of macOS called High Sierra (10.13) will soon go GA and we expect many of our STS/Eclipse users and Spring developers will upgrade their machines sooner than later. In case you have your system running with an English locale, you are fine and everything will be good.

If you are running your system with a different language configured, you will see all menu items of Eclipse or STS being disabled after the upgrade to macOS High Sierra.

The good news is: you can quickly get this fixed without waiting for an update of Eclipse or STS. Go into the Eclipse.app or STS.app package, move…

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I've been visiting the Spring and Cloud Foundry teams at Microsoft (this time, in Redmond, WA) and then it's off to San Francisco, CA and San Antonio, TX to visit some customers. So, with that, let's get to it!

• I loved this Pivotal Engineering post on how we transitioned Pivotal Web Services, our hosted, multitenant installation of Cloud Foundry, to CredHub. CredHub is designed to store passwords, keys, certificates, and other sensitive information for a BOSH-managed environment.
• Spring Boot ninja Brian Clozel just announced Spring Boot 1.5.7 which includes scores of fixes, dependency updates, and improvements.
• Spring Integration lead and messaging ninja Gary Russell just announced Spring AMQP 2.0 RC1…

Milestone 4 of Spring Boot 2.0 brings important changes to the security auto-configuration provided by Spring Boot.

Problem Statement

Until Spring Boot 1.x, the default auto-configuration secured all of the application endpoints using basic authentication. If actuator was on the classpath, there was a separate security configuration that applied to the actuator endpoints. The way these two auto-configurations would turn on and off was completely independent. Because of this, users wanting to provide custom security found themselves fighting ordering issues with WebSecurityConfigurerAdapters.

Additionally, for actuator endpoints, the effects of the management.security.enabled…

Dear Spring Community,

Spring Session MongoDB 2.0.0.M3 is released. It is based on:

• Spring Session 2.0.0.M4

• Spring Data Kay-RC3

• Reactor Bismuth-M4

• Spring Framework 5.0.0.RC4

In this release, several new features have been added to simplify using it with your Spring WebFlux application.

@EnableMongoWebSession
public class SpringWebFluxConfig {

}

All you must do is apply the @EnableMongoWebSession to any of your Spring configuration classes to activate session support with MongoDB. Additionally, you must provide a ReactorMongoOperations Spring bean, but if you’re using Spring Boot’s spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive…
