On behalf of the community, I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Security 3.2.10, 4.1.4, and 4.2.1 which fix CVE-2016-9879. Users are encouraged to update immediately.

It is important to note that Spring Framework 3.2.x has reached EOL. As with Spring Framework, we expect all users to upgrade to 4.2.1+ for further support. Detailed instructions (including samples) on migrating both XML and Java Config based projects can be found in the reference appendix

On behalf of the community, I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring LDAP 2.2.1 and 2.3 RC1.

A special thanks to Mark Paluch for getting spring-data-ldap aligned on the Spring Data side!

Spring LDAP 2.3 RC1

This release brings in a new era for Spring Data compatibility. Integration for Spring LDAP and Spring Data has been moved to spring-data-ldap so that it can partake in the Spring Data release train and ensure compatibility with the latest and greatest Spring Data code base. For additional details refer to the changelog

Spring LDAP 2.2.1

This release contains some minor bug fixes along with an update to make updates to newer versions of Spring Data more seamless. For additional details refer to the changelog…

Hi Spring fans! In this installment we look at the Spring Tool Suite, your premier Eclipse-based destination for building Spring applications.

It is my pleasure to announce that the Spring Framework 4.3.5, 4.2.9 and 3.2.18 maintenance releases are available now.

4.3.5 is a significant refinement release with 37 enhancements (including e.g. WebSocket support for the recently released Jetty 9.4) and several bug fixes, serving as the basis for the upcoming Spring Boot 1.4.3 release.

Please note that the 4.2.9 and 3.2.18 bug fix releases are the last in their respective line, with 4.2.x being superseded by 4.3.x now and 3.2.x reaching its EOL point. Going forward, we expect all users to upgrade to 4.3.5+ for further support.

All three releases also fix a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2016-9878) in ResourceServlet. If you happen to be among its rare users, please upgrade ASAP. Note that this functionality has been superseded for years already and will get removed in 5.0, so we actually recommend a migration to Spring MVC's resource handling features within a DispatcherServlet…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in the winter wonderland of Toronto, Canada, hanging out with the amazing Pivotal Labs Toronto office and working with some of the largest financial institutions in all of Canada as they transition to Spring Cloud and to Pivotal Cloud Foundry. I love seeing seemingly large, lumbering companies run at startup speeds and crave it.

This week is the week of Christmas for some in the world, followed shortly by the western western new year. If you celebrate either (or both) of them, then, on behalf of the Spring team, let me wish you the happiest of holidays! I, for one, can't believe we're now less than two weeks away from 2017 (and with it, the beginning of the 7th year writing This Week in Spring…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Sébastien Deleuze Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/developing-a-geospatial-webservice-with-kotlin-and-spring-boot

As described in this announcement I made on the Spring blog, it is now easy to create a Spring Boot application using Kotlin.

Thanks to a sample Geospatial messenger application, I will show how Spring Boot and Kotlin share the same pragmatic, innovative and opinionated mindset to allow you to build simple but powerful projects.

This talk will provide an opportunity to show how to use a relational database without JPA…
