We are pleased to announce that the first milestone for the 5.0 version of Spring Integration is now available.

This is a new major version, based on Spring Framework 5.0 and requires Java 8; this is the biggest change so far, but the following are also included:

• The Java DSL is now rolled into the framework itself; there are some minor changes to the DSL, such as the removal of the .handleWithAdapter() methods and some general Factory classes. A complete discussion of the DSL changes can be found in the Migration Guide.

• Upgrade to Spring Data Kay.

• Upgrade to Spring AMQP 2.0.

• First class support for TCP/UDP has been added to the DSL.

• Spring Integration is now based on Reactor 3.0 and Messaging Gateway Promise methods now have to be changed to return Mono.

• You can now configure mid-flow transactions via TransactionHandleMessageAdvice for adviceChain Messaging Annotations attribute and <transactional> sub-element when using XML configuration.

Getting up and running with Spring Cloud is a breeze. But once the initial setup is done, it needs to be complemented with an ecosystem that can cope with the extra operational complexity and quality concerns. While running Spring Cloud in production for over a year, Pivotal has integrated some interesting tools for documentation, operations and testing. During this talk you will see a demo of an integrated platform based on Spring Cloud, including tools like Spring Cloud Contract, wiremock, saboteur, ELK, Spinnaker, Spring Boot Admin and more. One of these tools is a dashboard for visualising…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Sergi Almar Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/building-modern-web-applications-with-angular2

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at how to manage distributed transactions in Spring with JTA.

We are pleased to announce the first milestone of Spring AMQP 2.0 is now available.

For a complete list of changes; see the what’s new in the reference manual and the release notes.

Here are some highlights of this release

• The framework is now fully Java 8 based; several functional interfaces are provided for convenient Lambda implementations (callbacks, ReplyingMessageListener etc). Java 8 is now a requirement. It is also based on Spring Framework 5.0.

• The framework uses the new 4.0 amqp-client library.

• A new DirectMessageListenerContainer is now available alongside the existing SimpleMessageListenerContainer. The new container actually has a simpler architecture and the listener is called directly on the amqp-client thread (hence the name Direct…​). See Choosing a Container to help you decide which container is appropriate for your application.
