Today it is with an optimistic look to the future that I am announcing the end of life for Spring Social, a project that I have had the pleasure to work with over the past eight years.

With the release of Spring Security 5, much of the functionality offered by Spring Social’s connection framework—which I consider the most valuable piece of Spring Social—is now part of Spring Security. In fact, I shared how to use Spring Security’s new support for client-side OAuth2 in a blog article from back in March. And as Spring Security continues to evolve its client-side OAuth support, Spring Social’s…

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring!

In less than two days I'll be home for the first time in almost a month to celebrate the 4th of July. If you're in America, let me be the first to wish you a happy holiday. As usual, we've…
