Hello, Java 22!

Engineering | Josh Long | March 19, 2024 | ...

update I've since published a Spring Tips video on this very topic! If you'd prefer, you could watch that instead.

Hi, Spring fans! Happy Java 22 release day, to those who celebrate! Did you get the bits already? Go, go, go! Java 22 is a significant improvement that I think is a worthy upgrade for everyone. There are some big, final released features, like Project Panama, and a slew of even-better preview features. I couldn't hope to cover them all, but I did want to touch on a few of my favorites. We're going to touch on a number of features. The code, if you want to follow along at home, is here (https://github.com/spring-tips/java22)

Token Exchange support in Spring Security 6.3.0-M3

Engineering | Steve Riesenberg | March 19, 2024 | ...

I'm excited to share that there will be support for the OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange Grant (RFC 8693) in Spring Security 6.3, which is available for preview now in the latest milestone (6.3.0-M3). This support provides the ability to use Token Exchange with OAuth2 Client.

OAuth2 Client features of Spring Security allow us to easily make protected resources requests to an API secured with OAuth2 bearer tokens. Similarly, OAuth2 Resource Server…

Hypermedia and Browser Enhancement

Front end development these days is dominated by large JavaScript client side frameworks. There are plenty of good reasons for that, but it can be very inefficient for many use cases, and the framework engineering has become extremely complex. In this article, I want to explore a different approach, one that is more efficient and more flexible, built from smaller building blocks, and well-suited to server side application frameworks like Spring (or similar tools in a range of server side languages). The idea is to embrace the concept of hypermedia, imagine how a next-generation browser would…

Bootiful Spring Boot in 2024 (part 1)

Engineering | Josh Long | March 11, 2024 | ...

NB: the code is here on my Github account: github.com/joshlong/bootiful-spring-boot-2024-blog.

Hi, Spring fans! I'm Josh Long, and I work on the Spring team. I'm excited to be keynoting and giving a talk at Microsoft's JDConf this year. I'm a Kotlin GDE and a Java Champion, and I'm of the opinion that there's never been a better time to be a Java and Spring Boot developer. I say that fully aware of where we stand in the span of things today. It's been 21+ years since the earliest releases of the Spring Framework and 11+ years since the earliest releases of Spring Boot. This year marks 20 years…
