Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm.. home! It's Thanksgiving this week here in the states, after all. I am sure that I speak for the entire Pivotal team when I say that we are grateful for you, the most wonderful community on the planet. Thanks so much, and if you're celebrating Thanksgiving, then happy Thanksgiving to you! When you're finished with your meal - barely able to keep an eye open - I hope you'll find a comfy arm chair and take in some of the content in this week's roundup.

NOTE: If you are reading this in December 2023 or later, there was a 1.16 release of JMustache that added "inheritance" support. This is an optional Mustache spec feature but was previously unimplemented in JMustache. It allows you to do the "layout with included body" type templating that is very common in web apps, and needed in the sample for this article. The sample has been updated in Github to use inheritance instead of the workaround with lambdas presented below.

I don’t do much server-side templating, but when I do…​ well frankly, I tend to forget things. Every template language has its strengths and weaknesses, and they all have syntax to remember, and more frequently to forget. Recently I completed some work on the old Spring Petclinic, converting it to use Thymeleaf in the view layer, and re-organizing the code to be a bit more "modern". I enjoyed working with Thymeleaf 3, and found…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Dr. David Syer Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/building-applications-with-angular-js-and-spring-security

In this presentation we show some nice features of Spring Security, Spring Boot and Angular JS working together to provide a pleasant and secure user experience. Things to consider are cookies, headers, native clients, various security vulnerabilities and how modern browser technology can help us to avoid them. In this series we show how nicely features of the component frameworks can be integrated simply to provide a pleasant…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speakers: Rob Winch, Joe Grandja Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/to-spring-security-41-and-beyond

Exploits are continually evolving making security hard. This is compounded by the fact that the technologies we need to secure are a moving target.

In this talk we will discuss how to easily secure an application with Spring Security 4.1. We will focus on some of the new features found in Spring Security 4.1 and discuss the future direction of Spring Security.

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll quickly look at how to build stream-processing pipelines with Spring Cloud Data Flow

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! Time sure is flying! We've got so much to get into this week. Can you believe we're staring down 2017? We've got so much to cover so let's get to it!

• I hope you'll join Axon-framework lead Allard Buijze and I tomorrow when we introduce how to build CQRS-centric applications with the Axon Framework and Spring Boot
• More SpringOne Platform 2016 talks are available, and if you're interested in how Spring and reactive programming are coming together you'll want to hear directly from Rossen about where the team is starting it's journey!
• Anyone that is working in microservices, should watch this amazing SpringOne Platform 2016 replay showing us how Oliver Gierke applies Domain Driven Design concepts to creating REST APIs
• be sure to check out this blog and the corresponding webinar from our very own Stephane Nicoll and Vaadin's Matti Tahvonen as they look at how to …

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/ddd-rest-domain-driven-apis-for-the-web

While Domain Driven Design is supposed to take care of complexity in the very core of software, REST is usually treated a plain remoting technology. In this talk we're going to explore some commonalities of the two when it comes to the design of both the domain and resources. We're going to discover how a good domain design is essential to build a great REST API in the first place and which means REST provides to make your APIs more domain driven. From all of the…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Rossen Stoyanchev Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/imperative-to-reactive-web-applications

The reactive programming model involves a fundamental shift from imperative to non-blocking logic and understanding what that means on the most basic level is an essential and required first step. In this talk we'll start by introducing reactive programming and discuss how it impacts application design. Then we'll take a look at the building blocks from a Java developer's perspective. Finally we'll complete the picture by checking out the…

This post is a guest post by community member Matti Tahvonen (@MattiTahvonen), who works as a developer advocate in Vaadin Ltd, the company that originally developed Vaadin Framework and provides commercial services and extensions for it.

The first stable release of the official Spring integration library for Vaadin was released a bit over a year ago. The feedback has been great and many Spring developers, who have wanted to stay on the safe “backend side”, have discovered a new way to use their existing Java skills to build good-looking web UIs. Using Vaadin Spring, your UI code lives in…
