Remember the epic Java Puzzlers? Here’s the Groovy version, and we have some neat ones! Even though we are totally a Grails shop here at JFrog, some of these had us scratching our heads for days trying to figure them out. And there is more! Contributions from the truly Groovy senseis, including @glaforge, @aalmiray, @tim_yates, @kenkousen make this talk an unforgettable journey to Groovy's O_O.

 

SpringOne2GX 2014 Replay: Centralized Application Configuration with Spring and Apache ZooKeeper

Engineering | Pieter Humphrey | April 21, 2015 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014.

Speaker: Ryan Gardner, Dealer.com

Core Spring Track

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/zookeeper-config2014-2c-41123708

Application configuration is an evolution. It starts as a hard-coded strings in your application and hopefully progresses to something external, such as a file or system property that can be changed without deployment. But what happens when other enterprise concerns enter the mix, such as audit requirements or access control around who can make changes? How do you maintain the consistency of values across too many application servers to manage at one time from a terminal window? The next step in the application configuration evolution is centralized configuration that can be accessed by your applications as they move through your various environments on their way to production. Such a service transfers the ownership of configuration from the last developer who touched the code to a well-versed application owner who is responsible for the configuration of the application across all environments. At Dealer.com, we have created one such solution that relies on Apache ZooKeeper to handle the storage and coordination of the configuration data and Spring to handle to the retrieval, creation and registration of configured objects in each application. The end result is a transparent framework that provides the same configured objects that could have been created using a Spring configuration, configuration file and property value wiring. This talk will cover both the why and how of our solution, with a focus on how we leveraged the powerful attributes of both Apache ZooKeeper and Spring to rid our application of local configuration files and provide a consistent mechanism for application configuration in our enterprise.

Using Apache Kafka for Integration and Data Processing Pipelines with Spring

Engineering | Josh Long | April 15, 2015 | ...

Applications generated more and more data than ever before and a huge part of the challenge - before it can even be analyzed - is accommodating the load in the first place. Apache's Kafka meets this challenge. It was originally designed by LinkedIn and subsequently open-sourced in 2011. The project aims to provide a unified, high-throughput, low-latency platform for handling real-time data feeds. The design is heavily influenced by transaction logs. It is a messaging system, similar to traditional messaging systems like RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, MQSeries, but it's ideal for log aggregation…

Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0.RELEASE Released

Releases | Craig Walls | April 15, 2015 | ...

Dear Spring Community,

I'm happy to announce the release of Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0.RELEASE. This release completes the overhaul of Spring Social Facebook to target version 2.3 of Facebook's Graph API.Facebook will be turning off version 1.0 of their Graph API on April 30th, so it is highly recommended that you upgrade to Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0.RELEASE as soon as possible.

As has been mentioned in last week's release candidate and in milestone releases prior to that, Facebook's Graph API introduced several breaking changes which resulted in many breaking changes between Spring Social Facebook 1.1.x and Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0. Also, even some operations that still work do not work as they did previously. For example, it is no longer possible to fetch a list of all
