SpringOne2GX 2015 replay: Bringing javax.cache'ing to your application

News | Pieter Humphrey | October 19, 2015 | ...

Speakers: Alex Snaps, Chris Dennis - Terracotta / Software AG

10 years in the making and finally JSR-107 has been finalized. We now have a standardized Caching API for the Java Platform. And that's all ready for you to use in your Spring apps. But what does it really enable for you? What's with these optional features? No transaction support? How do you efficiently make use of this new API to solve real world problems in your application today? We'll look into how get you best started introducing caching into your Spring application to solve real world problems. And, as we explore the javax.cache API in much more details, we'll see how to push the specifications to its limits and... beyond. Whether implicitly through frameworks (like Spring and Hibernate), or explicitly (cache-aside, cache-through, ...). And how to abstract yourself from a given provider when you require more than what the specifications cover (e.g. transactional caches). We'll also cover some implementer specifics you might want to account for when choosing an implementation, especially if you plan to push the spec to the extreme, like when going distributed and caching terabytes of data.

SpringOne2GX 2015 replay: Microservice Architecture with Grails

News | Pieter Humphrey | October 19, 2015 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2015.

Speakers: Jeff Brown, OCI Web

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/microservice-architecture-with-grails-3

For some web applications it does not make sense to have 1 monolithing process which handles all of the requirements of the application. More and more often Grails is showing up in microservice architectures where instead of building 1 monolithing web application which is responsible for all of the pieces of the application puzzle, microservice applications are being assembled which collectively solve the requirements of the larger application. Grails is very well suited for this type of architecture. A microservice based architecture can result in applications which are easier to build…

SpringOne2GX 2015 Replay: Spring Cloud at Netflix

News | Pieter Humphrey | October 19, 2015 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2015.

Speakers: Jon Schneider, Taylor Wicksell - Netflix

Web / JavaScript Track

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/spring-cloud-at-netflix

Cloud Native Track Spring Cloud Netflix allows you to quickly take your existing Spring Boot application and transform it into a fully cloud-ready service (even if you are operating out of a private data center). This talk will be largely live coded, taking a simple Spring Boot app and progressively augmenting it with more and more production-ready features. 1. Service discovery -- how we have extended Spring Cloud to integrate more seamlessly with Eureka. 2. Real-time Metrics -- Spectator/Atlas integration, including how we fold Spring Boot Actuator metrics into Spectator. We will show you how to use the Atlas stack language to generate real-time metrics graphics. 3. Inter-service Communication/Loading Balancing - When should you choose client-side load balancing (Ribbon) over traditional server-side load balancing? We will explain how Netflix OSS can contain both a client side load balancer in Ribbon and a software router in Zuul and when to use each. 4. Managing Failure - Provide a demo of Hystrix/Spring integration with Turbine. 5. Analytics - How Spring Cloud Netflix makes Spring XD an even more powerful real-time analytics platform with real-time operational insights.

Spring on GlassFish 4.1.1 and WildFly 10 / Undertow 1.3

News | Juergen Hoeller | October 14, 2015 | ...

Even if I pointed out that there are no general news in terms of Java EE 7 platform adoption in last week's blog post (since there is still no WebSphere Classic, WebLogic, JBoss EAP or even TomEE with full EE 7 support), the two existing open-source EE 7 platform servers - namely, GlassFish and WildFly - made some fine progress in the meantime:

  • There's a GlassFish 4.1.1 release now, with many sub-project updates - including Tyrus for its WebSocket support.
  • And the WildFly team rushes from major release to major release, arriving at WildFly 10 GA very soon now. The underlying Undertow web server reached 1.3 GA just a few days ago.

A brief update on Java EE 7 adoption

News | Juergen Hoeller | October 06, 2015 | ...

A reminder: Every time somebody shows you a survey result with a Java EE 7 usage column, in particular when talking about production usage, double-check what they actually asked for. Does Hibernate 4.3 usage count as Java EE 7, just because it's JPA 2.1 (EE 7 level but run standalone)? Does Tomcat 8 usage count as Java EE 7, just because it's Servlet 3.1? And of course, does running a Spring application with any such individual providers count as EE 7?

Take such statistics with a big grain of salt: They typically do not ask for "native Java EE 7 platform usage" but are being presented that way eventually. Why is it a safe assumption that they did not ask for full Java EE 7 platform usage in production? Well, remember my blog post from back in June, which is still as valid in late 2015. In the meantime, the only real news is that there is no news since IBM released their EE 7 support in WebSphere's Liberty Profile. All in all, responders to such survey…
