Greetings Spring community,

In preparation for the soon-to-be GA release, Spring Session, Spring Session MongoDB, and Spring Session for Apache Geode and Pivotal GemFire have all aligned to versions 2.0.0.RC2 for this release.

In case you missed it, this is what’s included with each of the modules:

• Core - includes support for Redis, JDBC, and Hazelcast

• MongoDB - both traditional blocking as well as reactive support for MongoDB

• Apache Geode - support for Apache Geode as well as Pivotal GemFire (including the PCC service with the SSC extension on PCF)

In this version, Spring Session has…

We are pleased to announce the 1.3.0.M3 release of the Spring Cloud Data Flow for Cloud Foundry.

The Getting Started Guide is the best place to start kicking the tires.

Release Highlights

Stream updates, a JavaDSL, and the complete port of the UI to the Angular 4.0 stack are some of the main highlights. More information on release highlights can be found in the release blog for the core Data Flow project.

Of note for the Cloud Foundry server is an upgrade to v2.23.0 of the cf-java client library and setting the default health check to be http instead of port. You can now also specify the…

I am pleased to announce the availability of Spring for Apache Kafka 2.1.0.RELEASE.

In addition, maintenance releases 1.3.2.RELEASE and 2.0.2.RELEASE are available, containing important bug fixes. See also below for information about spring-integration-kafka 3.0.0.RELEASE. It is recommended that all users upgrade.

The main purpose of the 2.1 release is to upgrade the kafka-clients library to 1.0.0, but we have included a few improvements:

• Sometimes, when a message can’t be processed, you may wish to stop the container so the condition can be corrected and the message re-delivered. The framework now provides the ContainerStoppingErrorHandler for record listeners and ContainerStoppingBatchErrorHandler for batch listeners.

• The KafkaAdmin now supports increasing partitions when a NewTopic bean is detected with a larger number of partitions than currently exist on the topic.

• StringJsonMessageConverter and JsonSerializer/JsonDeserializer now pass and consume type information in Headers. This allows multiple types to be easily sent/received on the same topic:

  @SpringBootApplication public class Kafka21Application {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApplication.run(Kafka21Application.class, args)
          .close();
  }
  
  @Bean
  public ApplicationRunner runner(KafkaTemplate<Object, Object> template) {
      return args -> {
          template.send(MessageBuilder.withPayload(42)
                  .setHeader(KafkaHeaders.TOPIC, "blog")
                  .build());
          template.send(MessageBuilder.withPayload("4…

We are pleased to announce the 1.3.0.M3 release of the Spring Cloud Data Flow and its associated ecosystem of projects.

Local Server: Getting Started Guide

Release Highlights

Stream updates and rollback

A streaming data pipeline orchestrated as a series of microservice applications has always been the core value of Spring Cloud Data Flow’s design. In 1.3.0.M3 we have provided the ability to update sources, processors, and sinks independently without having to undeploy and redeploy the entire stream.

The stream update feature is implemented by delegating the deployment process to a new Spring Cloud project called Skipper. Introduced in this blog, Spring Cloud Skipper is a standalone server that deploys Spring Boot applications to multiple cloud platforms. It also keeps track of the application version, application properties, and deployment properties of the deployed application or applications so that the changes to any of these…
