"It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” -W. Edwards Deming

Work takes time to flow through an organization and ultimately be deployed to production where it captures value. It’s critical to reduce time-to-production. Software - for many organizations and industries - is a competitive advantage. Organizations break their larger software ambitions into smaller, independently deployable, feature -centric batches of work - microservices. In order to reduce the round-trip…

Your team is excited about getting started with Spring Boot and Cloud Native, but you're not entirely sure you're ready to have the team continuously delivering to prod using cf push from their local desktops. The freedom of cloud native development can be very empowering for developers, but it shouldn't be something that terrifies the operations and security teams. We'll discuss how you can…

I am pleased to announce that the second milestone for Spring for Apache Kafka version 1.1.0.M2 is now available in the spring milestone repo.

This includes some bug fixes and the following new features:

• The ability to process a batch of messages (introduced in the last milestone) is now available when using the @KafkaListener annotation, for example…​

  @KafkaListener(id = "list", topics = "myTopic", containerFactory = "batchFactory") public void listen(List list) { ... }

• You can now perform seek operations from the listener - this allows setting an initial offset when partitions are assigned by Kafka when using group management. You can also perform arbitrary seek operations after initialization.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Shanghai, China and Hangzhou, China where I spoke at the ginormous Huawei Connect conference in Shanghai and where I'll be working with Alibaba and Huawei for a week or so. I'll also be speaking at the Hangzhou Java User Group, too.

(Can you believe we're already in September?? Seriously blown away! 2017 is just around the corner!)

I'm also, technically, on vacation, so I'll keep this post to a minimum! :)

Issue #808 was recently reported that allowed a user to authenticate as a client and obtain an access token via the client_credentials or password grant flow.

This unique scenario occurs when a client and user have the same identifier (clientId and username). The user’s credentials are used for client authentication during a client_credentials or password grant flow and is successful in obtaining an access token with the authorities of the client.

The Fix

This bug has been fixed in 1ed986a and released in 2.0.11.RELEASE.

If you’re using Java-based configuration, please update to 2.0.11.RELEASE…
