SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Going Beyond Dependency Injection

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 29, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: Mark Secrist

Many developers who are learning the Spring Framework think of it as simply another mechanism for centralized dependency injection. While the framework does handle that responsibility quite well, the framework is so much more. In this session, we'll explore some of the building blocks and patterns used by the core framework as well as many of the other Spring projects. The result is that attendees will gain a better understanding of how to use the Spring Framework and learn how to build their own components that can leverage these same patterns. Topics we'll explore:

  • What is the benefit of centralized lifecycle management
  • Programming to interfaces
  • Leveraging the power of proxies
  • Using annotations
  • Understanding the template pattern

Dependency injection is one very important part of what the Spring Framework does. However, it is also a collection of very key patterns that we'll explore.

  • Centralized lifecycle management
  • Examining the BeanFactoryPostProcessor
  • Examining the BeanPostProcessor
  • How to write your own BeanPostProcessor
  • Programming to interfaces
  • Benefits of programming to interfaces
  • Loose coupling
  • Examples of how Spring leverages this mechanism
  • How to leverage in your own Spring applications
  • Leveraging the power of proxies
  • How proxies work in Spring
  • How Spring uses them
  • Writing your own proxy-based solution
  • Using annotations
  • Examples of how Spring uses annotations
  • Using your own annotations
  • Understanding the template pattern
  • Purpose of template pattern
  • How Spring uses templates
  • Creating your own template

DISID to lead Spring Roo Project

DISID to lead Spring Roo Project

Disid

We are happy to announce that Pivotal and DISID will collaborate on further development of the Spring Roo project. Roo will continue in its goal of providing a code-gen style of RAD framework, focused helping developers get Java projects done on time.

Pivotal and DISID were already in collaboration around Roo for some time, so we’re excited to be formalizing what originally was an informal, developer led partnership – a partnership that DISID is committed to. The Spring Roo project will remain as an open source project under Spring, maintaining the same current licensing policy. Both Pivotal and DISID are calling on the Spring and Java communities for anyone who would like to collaborate in the project with us!

Webinar: Spring Integration 4.0 - The New Frontier

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 22, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Gary Russell

The Spring Integration team has been hard at work on the latest release of the popular integration framework. Before version 4.0, it was impractical to define a complete Spring Integration flow without using XML. With this major release, the existing basic annotation support has received an overhaul and those who prefer to use java @Configuration classes can now define their applications without needing to use any XML (of course, XML is still supported as well). In this session we will cover these major changes to the framework, explaining how and when to use them. It will be mainly demonstration and code walk through, and we will build a useful Spring Boot / Integration application from scratch.

Webinar: Data-Driven Applications with Spring and Neo4j

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 22, 2014 | ...

Speakers: Michael Hunger (Neo Technology) and Josh Long (Pivotal)

Spring Data Neo4j 3.0 is here and it supports Neo4j 2.0. Neo4j is a tiny graph database with a big punch. Graph databases are imminently suited to asking interesting questions, and doing analysis. Want to load the Facebook friend graph? Build a recommendation engine? Neo4j's just the ticket. Join Spring Data Neo4j lead Michael Hunger (@mesirii) and Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman) for a look at how to build smart, graph-driven applications with Spring Data Neo4j and Spring Boot.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Your Data, Your Search, Elasticsearch

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 22, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: Costin Leau, Elasticsearch

Finding relevant information fast has always been a challenge, even more so in today's growing "oceans" of data. This talk explores the area of real-time full text search, using Elasticsearch, an open-source, distributed search engine built on top of Apache Lucene. The session will showcase how to perform real-time searches on structured and non-structured data alike, how to cope with types and suggestions, do social graph filters and aggregations for efficient analytics. All from a Spring perspective Last but not least, the presentation focuses on the Hadoop platform and how Map/Reduce, Hive, Pig or Cascading jobs can leverage a search engine to significantly speed up execution and enhance their capabilities. The presentation covers architectural topics such as index scalability, data locality and partitioning, using off and on-premise storages (HDFS, S3, local file-systems) and multi-tenancy.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Application Security Pitfalls

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 22, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: Mike Wiesner

Creating a secure application involves more then just applying Spring Security to it. This is of course not a new topic, but with the increased popularity of much more dynamic configurations for Servlet Containers and various Spring Projects, like Spring MVC and Spring Integration, it becomes more important to know about the Security tradeoffs we might get with that, and how to tackle them.

Webinar Replay: Building 'Bootiful'­ Applications with Spring Boot

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 16, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013, in Santa Clara, CA

Speakers: Josh Long

Alright, so maybe "bootiful" won't ever work, but I tried, and it was worth it too because you're reading this. Spring Boot, the new convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring team at Pivotal, marries Spring's flexibility with conventional, common sense defaults to make application development not just fly, but pleasant! Join Spring developer advocate Josh Long for a look at what Spring Boot is, why it's turning heads, why you should consider it for your next application (REST, micro services, web, batch, big data, integration, whatever!) and how to get started.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Getting started with Spring Data and Apache Hadoop

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 15, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speakers: Thomas Risberg, Janne Valkealahti

Big data and Hadoop is widely considered to be the next generation data platform. Hadoop is notoriously difficult to work with and just diving in and starting coding can easily lead to frustration. A better way is to leverage your existing Java and Spring skills to take advantage of these new technologies. In this presentation we will introduce Spring Data for Apache Hadoop and see how it can make working with Hadoop easier. We will also cover several ways to install a small Hadoop cluster that can be used to test your new Hadoop applications.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: In-memory data and compute on top of Hadoop

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 15, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: Jags Ramnarayan, Anthony Baker

Hadoop gives us dramatic volume scalability at a cheap price. But core Hadoop is designed for sequential access - write once and read many times; making it impossible to use hadoop from a real-time/online application. Add a distributed in-memory tier in front and you could get the best of two worlds - very high speed, concurrency and the ability to scale to very large volume. We present the seamless integration of in-memory data grids with hadoop to achieve interesting new design patterns - ingesting raw or processed data into hadoop, random read-writes on operational data in memory or massive historical data in Hadoop with O(1) lookup times, zero ETL Map-reduce processing, enabling deep-scale SQL processing on data in Hadoop or the ability to easily output analytic models from hadoop into memory. We introduce and present the ideas and code samples through Pivotal in-memory real-time and the Hadoop platform.
