Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring. We've got a lot of cool stuff happening and, as you might imagine, the entire team is abuzz in preparation for SpringOne2GX 2014, coming in just a few short weeks! If you haven't registered, now's the time to do so!

  1. Spring Security lead and all-around sleepless ninja Rob Winch has just announced that Spring MVC Test HtmlUnit 1.0.0.M2 has been released. This is an awesome release if you're trying to unit test real pages with Spring MVC
  • Spring Boot 1.1.5 has just been released. The new release mainly addresses a few issues and is a recommended upgrade for all users.
  • I really enjoyed this blog, ¿Qué es Spring Framework?, which tries to explain what the fundamental value of Spring is. Largely, the (Spanish language) article explains that Spring handles the lifecycle for objects in a consistent way. It's easy to plug in various frameworks, software, around the edges when the fundamental life-cycle is handled. I would point out that this post uses Spring…

This Week in Spring - August 5th, 2014

Engineering | Josh Long | August 06, 2014 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! As usual, we've got a lot to cover so let's get to it.

  1. Spring Cloud lead Ramnivas Laddad has written up a nice post that looks at how to extend Spring Cloud to consume other services in a consistent manner.

Extending Spring Cloud

Engineering | Ramnivas Laddad | August 05, 2014 | ...

One of the most interesting capabilities of Spring Cloud is its extensibility. You can extend it to support additional clouds, enhance already supported clouds, support new services, new service connectors--all without modifying the Spring Cloud code itself. In this blog, we explore this capability. If you haven’t done so already, please read the first and second blog in this series to acquire sufficient background.

The three axes of extensibility

Spring Cloud provides extensibility along three orthogonal directions. You may extend it in one of these directions and orthogonality ensures that…

Spring XD 1.0 GA Released

Releases | Mark Pollack | July 30, 2014 | ...

On behalf of the Spring XD team, I am very pleased to announce the general availability of Spring XD 1.0! You can download the zip distribution. You can also install on OSX using homebrew and on RHEL/CentOs using yum.

Spring XD's goal is to be your one stop shop for developing and deploying Big Data Applications. Such applications require a wide range of technologies to address different use-cases while interoperating as a cohesive process. The steps in this process include:

  • Data collection
  • Real-time streaming and analytics
  • Data cleansing
  • Batch processing (both on and off Hadoop)
  • Machine learning and exploratory data analysis
  • Visualization and Reporting
  • Closed loop analytics between real-time and batch processing

This Week in Spring (Spring XD Edition) - July 29th, 2014

Engineering | Josh Long | July 29, 2014 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week saw the release of the amazing Spring XD 1.0.0.RELEASE. The release announcement is a good place to start your big-data journey. There, you'll find links to other great posts, learning content, etc. This is a great opportunity to evaluate what you hope to get out of your data, and whether you're getting it. Spring XD is your big-data Swiss-army knife: it can support live, streaming workloads; batch-centric offline workloads; and general data integration solutions. If you digest but one post from this week's roundup, let it be

Webinar: Process Driven Spring Applications with Activiti - Sept 23rd

News | Pieter Humphrey | July 29, 2014 | ...

Speakers: Josh Long and Joram Barrez, Activiti

Today's applications are complex, distributed systems that - taken together - produce results. Tracking the flow of work through that system, however, becomes increasingly more painful as automated- and human-driven tasks are integrated into business processes. Business can't react to what it can't see. Business can't measure what it can't see. "Workflow" describes the sequence of processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. Workflow systems, like Activiti, describe and then execute these processes. Activiti is an open-source, Apache 2-licensed workflow engine that works with Spring and Spring Boot. In this webinar, join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long and Activiti-ninja Joram Barrez for a look at how to distill, describe and reuse complex business processes using Spring (and Spring Boot) and Activiti.

Webinar: Microservices with Spring Boot - Sept 16th

News | Pieter Humphrey | July 29, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Josh Long, Pivotal

Microservices? A thing? Or hype? What does it mean in practice? The answer, like so many Facebook statuses, is complicated. In broad strokes, Microservices offer a refreshed approach to application architecture. Microservices are a new way to describe many of the patterns that have fallen out of large-scale applications in practice over the recent years. There is no doubt that the approach works. The question is: how does one build a microservice architecture? Join Josh Long for this webinar introducing Spring's support for building microservice architectures.
