SpringOne 2GX 2011 was a phenomenal event and thanks to InfoQ, if you were not able to attend in person you can still see much of the content. The first video is from the Opening Night Keynote with Adrian Colyer. Adrian recaps the core principles underlying Spring and then surveys the development progress in the Data, Mobile, Social and Platform-as-a-Service spaces. Adrian also invites Graeme Rocher up to the stage to provide an update on Grails development. Derek Collison also makes a guest appearance to demonstrate some of the great features available in Cloud Foundry.

A shareable version of Adrian's slides are also available on our SpringOne 2GX 2011 Keynote Presentations page.

Many thanks to InfoQ for coming to Chicago to record so many of the fantastic SpringOne 2GX presentations.

In this new video interview from InfoQ, Spring expert, Costin Leau talks about Spring Data, caching, data grid architectures and work on a new Spring Hadoop project. This interview, filmed last month at JavaOne 2011, provides some great background to how the Spring team has been thinking about data and how the emerging new models of data access can be incorporated seamlessly into your Spring applications.

Costin talks about :

• Spring Data as an umbrella project
• Transaction capabilities in the world of noSQL
• Flexible caching integration in Spring
• The current development work on Spring Hadoop

Many thanks to InfoQ for taking the time to talk to the Spring experts and providing this outstanding interview to the community.

Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework that enables applications to connect with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such as Facebook and Twitter and interact with those services on behalf of their users. This presentations by Craig Walls introduces Spring Social essentials such as connecting to service providers and using Spring Social's API bindings. Craig also describes how to add provider-based sign in and how to extend Spring Social's service provider support.

Dear Spring Community,

As always downloads are available from the STS download page. Enjoy!

Welcome

Welcome to OAuth for Spring Security!

As you can probably deduce from its name, the purpose of this project is to provide an OAuth implementation for Spring Security. Support is provided for the implementation of OAuth providers and OAuth consumers. There is also support for two-legged OAuth (a.k.a. "Signed Fetch") and for OAuth 2.0.

Applying security to an application is not for the faint of heart, and OAuth is no exception. Before you get started, you're going to want to make sure you understand OAuth and the problem it's designed to address. There is good documentation at the OAuth site and a good illustration of how OAuth is applied. You will also want to make sure you understand how Spring and Spring Security work.

With that, you're ready to get started. You'll want to see OAuth for Spring Security in action and read a more detailed explanation in the user guide.

If you run into problems or have other questions, please use the forum.

Dear Spring Community,

On the heels of the Spring Data MongoDB 1.0.0.M4 release I'd like to announce the availability of Spring Data JPA 1.0.1 and 1.1.0.M1. The point release contains a variety of bugfixes listed in the changelog. The first milestone of the 1.1 train contains these bug fixes as well of course, adds IgnoreCase as keyword for the query parser and allows users to use that version alongside Spring Data MongoDB 1.0.0.M4 as they both refer to the same version of Spring Data Commons.

Beyond that we ship a ton of bug fixes and improvements mostly around the mapping subsystem and performance. For a detailed list of tickets fixed have a look at the changelog…
