Binding applications to HashiCorp's Vault with Spring in Cloud Foundry

Engineering | Mark Paluch | November 28, 2017 | ...

In this article, we will dive in how to bind a Spring application to HashiCorp’s Vault service broker on Cloud Foundry.

Spring Boot provides a lot of autoconfiguration and external binding features, some of which are relevant to Cloud Foundry, and many of which are not. Spring Cloud Connectors is a library that you can use in your application if you want to create your own components programmatically, but it doesn’t do anything “magical” by itself.

Spring Cloud Connectors lays the foundation for connectors that integrate with various Cloud services. It has ships components that allow correct…

End of first-class JDK 6 support

Engineering | Juergen Hoeller | November 27, 2017 | ...

It is about time: The official end of of commercial JDK 6 support is coming up soon, with Oracle declaring December 2018 and IBM declaring April 2018 as the end of their extended support.

From a Spring perspective, we take the opportunity to deemphasize JDK 6 support on our end. We'll keep tolerating a JDK 6 runtime in the entire Spring Framework 4.3.x line for all further maintenance releases. However, we won't make compromises for JDK 6 anymore, asking you to upgrade to JDK 7+ for fixes that we'd have to work around specifically for JDK 6 on our end.

Even for JDK 7, we expect a recent patch…

Spring Framework 5.0.2 and 4.3.13 available now

Releases | Juergen Hoeller | November 27, 2017 | ...

Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 5.0.2 and 4.3.13 are available now, as a pair of refinement releases which are recommended as immediate upgrades for all Spring users. They will also be part of the upcoming Spring Boot 2.0 M7 and 1.5.9 releases, respectively.

5.0.2 comes with significant tightening-up across the framework, including performance improvements and fine-tuned configuration variants. Many of those changes have been backported to 4.3.13 for streamlined consumption in existing applications.

Please note: Our Castor XML support is marked as deprecated now due to the inactivity of the Castor project. On a related note, we are effectively deprecating JDK 6 support in the 4.3.x line, ending our first-class efforts for it; more on this in a separate blog post
