Hi, Spring fans! In this installment I'm joined by my friend, fellow Java Champion, and Developer Advocate at HiveMQ, Mary Grygleski (@mgrygles), and we look at easy Internet of Things (IOT) integration with HiveMQ, Spring Integration MQTT, Spring Boot, and Spring Native

The Spring Data CrudRepository has various methods that return multiple instances of the entity managed by the repository. It does so by using Iterable and not List, as one might expect. In many cases, that is of no consequence, since you typically want to iterate over the result anyway. However, you might occasionally prefer a List. In these cases, Iterable is annoying.

I will write more about why that choice was made in the first place and how you can deal with it as long as you are on Spring Data 2.x. However, let me get the good news out first:

Spring Data 3.0.0 now offers a ListCrudRepository in the latest snapshot releases, which returns a List where CrudRepository returns an Iterable…

In Spring Security 5.7.0-M2 we deprecated the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter, as we encourage users to move towards a component-based security configuration.

To assist with the transition to this new style of configuration, we have compiled a list of common use-cases and the suggested alternatives going forward.

In the examples below we follow best practice by using the Spring Security lambda DSL and the method HttpSecurity#authorizeHttpRequests to define our authorization rules. If you are new to the lambda DSL you can read about it in this blog post. If you would like to learn more about why we choose to use HttpSecurity#authorizeHttpRequests you can check out the reference documentation…

When we launched Azure Spring Cloud with VMware in 2019, we set out to solve common challenges developers, IT operators, and DevOps teams face when running Spring Boot applications at scale. Since then we’ve had the opportunity to work with many customers to help them adopt the service including Bosch, Digital Realty, Kroger, Liantis, Morgan Stanley, National Life, Raley’s, and Swiss Re. They value the fully managed infrastructure of Azure Spring Cloud that lets them focus on their apps…
