Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's a beautiful Tuesday for any number of reasons. I presented in the DevDotNext digital edition show just a few hours ago - that was a lot of fun and I highly recommend you consider attending the next editions (online or - assuming we get past this pandemic - online).

Today is also the 16th birthday of Spring Framework 1.0 - released this day in 2004! What a journey! And of course, the person who announced that that version, the amazing Thomas Risberg (@trisberg), is one of many people who were there then and are still here on the Spring team now. Spring's come a long way since then! Check out the blog itself. If you want to see the original blog in all of its early-2000s glory, it's here on the Internet Wayback machine…

Time: about 15 minutes.

Previously in this series, you experimented with request-response and fire-and-forget messaging in Spring Boot with RSocket. This time you'll try another of RSocket's fresh new messaging models — request-stream.

In this exercise, you'll learn how to stream data using the conventional 'client-requests-a-server-stream' approach.

One thing that I haven't mentioned until now is that RSocket lets you use its messaging models in either direction. Therefore, if you wanted to use the less common 'server-requests-a-client-stream' model, that's no problem for RSocket. Plus, there are lots of non-java RSocket implementations to choose from, including Go, Javascript, and .Net—ideal if your architecture includes…

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 4.6.0 release of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Theia.

Spring Tips: FTP Integration

speaker: Josh Long (@starbuxman)

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips, we look at a topic that's near and dear to my heart: integration! And yes, you may recall that the very first installment of Spring Tips looked at Spring Integration. If you haven't already watched that one, you should. So, while we're not going to revisit Spring Integration fundamentals, we're going to take a deep dive into one area fo support in Spring Integration: FTP. FTP is all about file synchronization. Broadly, in the world of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), we…
