On behalf of the Spring and Apache Geode communities, it is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Session for Apache Geode and Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.1.4.RELEASE and 2.2.0.M2 releases.

Both SSDG 2.1.4.RELEASE and 2.2.0.M2 now support the ability to turn off client subscriptions. No longer does SSDG require client subscriptions to be enabled to use either Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire to manage your HTTP Session state. However, if client subscriptions are not explicitly enabled, then the client will no longer receive notifications of Session events that may have originated from…

Introduction

On behalf of the community I am happy to announce the release of Java CFEnv 1.1 RC1.

The RC1 release adds the following functionality:

• Checks the classpath to correctly determine setting of MySQL or MariaDB driver class name.

• When using the Boot support, an exception is thrown if the Spring Cloud Connector library is on the classpath. This applies only for the following services: DataSource, RabbitMQ, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Redis.

Background

Today, Jonathan Leitschuh published a blog titled Want to take over the Java ecosystem? All you need is a MITM!. The blog demonstrates that hundreds of Java libraries are downloading dependencies over HTTP. This opens the projects up to potential MITM (man in the middle) attacks.

Unfortunately, there were multiple Spring projects that were using HTTP to download dependencies. Fortunately, we uncovered no signs of a successful MITM attack. We have also addressed the issue to…
