Webinar Replay: Bringing Spring Apps to the Web at the US Navy

News | Chloe Jackson | October 29, 2013 | ...

The US Navy needed a new content management system, but didn't want to re-implement their existing applications or abandon their investment in Spring and Grails.

What they needed was a CMS that let developers use their existing Spring skills to easily bring the Navy's applications to the web.

Campbell-Ewald, the Navy's digital agency, found that the best solution was Magnolia, an enterprise open source Java CMS that offers a unique Spring integration called Blossom.

In this recorded webinar, Campbell-Ewald Solutions Architect Matt Dertinger provides an overview of the requirements, challenges, tools and solutions for the project.

After this, Magnolia Senior Software Engineer Tobias Mattsson shows how Blossom lets developers extend Magnolia CMS and integrate existing Spring applications by writing ordinary Spring code. Learn more about Magnolia CMS and Blossom, including information on upcoming webinars and Blossom presentations. Also, check out Magnolia's latest Spring Tech Brief on Adding Enterprise Content Management to Spring with Blossom.

Webinar Replay: What You Can Do With Hadoop: Building Big Data Applications with Hadoop & Spring

News | Chloe Jackson | October 29, 2013 | ...

Speakers: Nikesh Shah, Mark Fisher, James Williams

At Pivotal we are bringing 2 open source projects together -- Hadoop and the very rapid and widely used Spring Java application development framework to help Big Data Applications. While Hadoop is proving to be the defacto foundation for storing and processing data, real-world scenarios require much more. Millions of developers are already using Spring to create high performing, easily testable, reusable code without any lock-in. Adding Spring into the Hadoop equation we take out the complexity of building big data applications. In this month's webinar we will explore how Spring XD (Xtreme Data) is addressing Big Data Application needs such as: High throughput distributed data ingestion into HDFS from a variety of input sources. Real-time analytics at ingestion time, e.g. gathering metrics and counting values. Hadoop workflow management via batch jobs. High throughput data export, e.g. from HDFS to a RDBMS or NoSQL database. This is a can't miss presentation for anyone wanting to understand design, configuration and deployment of Hadoop-powered applications.

Webinar Replay: Modern Component Design with Spring

News | Chloe Jackson | October 29, 2013 | ...

Speaker: Juergen Hoeller

In recent years, the Spring Framework focuses on flexible and powerful Java-based configuration. This talk presents Spring as an annotation-oriented application framework, illustrating the rich set of features that Spring has to offer for modern component design. General component model trends will be discussed along with selected Spring feature highlights, such as standardized annotations for dependency injection, stereotypes, and declarative services such as validation and scheduling.

Webinar Replay: Building WebSocket Browser Applications with Spring

News | Chloe Jackson | October 23, 2013 | ...

Speaker: Rossen Stoyanchev

Slides: https://github.com/rstoyanchev/webinar-websocket-spring

Code: https://github.com/rstoyanchev/spring-websocket-portfolio

So, you've written a "Hello world!" WebSocket application or perhaps even a chat sample. You're able to exchange messages even in pre-Servlet 3.1 containers and pre-IE 10 browsers (that don't yet support WebSocket) thanks to the SockJS protocol and Spring's support for it. However a message is a blank page that can have any content. Whatever message format you choose, proprietary or standard, both client and server need to understand it as well as distinguish different kinds of messages. You need support for the publish-subscribe pattern central to messaging applications so you can broadcast messages to one or more subscribers. You need to incorporate security, validation, and so on. In short you need to build a real-world application. If you're used to web applications (and Spring MVC annotated controllers) you are familiar with the foundation that HTTP provides including URLs (nouns), HTTP methods (verbs), headers, parameters, and others. Imagine building an application without HTTP, just a socket. WebSocket gives you this brand new, exciting capability -- full duplex, two-way communication -- yet you no longer have an application-level protocol. Can an entire application be built around a single Endpoint class processing all messages, assuming a single WebSocket connection between browser and server? Join Rossen Stoyanchev as he demonstrates that, thankfully, the WebSocket protocol has a built-in sub-protocol mechanism.

Nov 21st Webinar: Have You Seen Spring Lately?

News | Pieter Humphrey | October 16, 2013 | ...

Speaker: Josh Long

It's been an amazing year for Spring! 2013 saw the Spring family join Pivotal where - along with Cloud Foundry and our data driven technologies (the Pivotal HD Hadoop distribution, the GemFire data grid, and the RabbitMQ message broker) - Spring supports today's application workloads and profiles. Today's Spring embraces Java 8, Scala, Groovy, provides a best-in-class REST stack, supports the open web, mobile applications, big-data applications and batch workloads. Today's Spring is easy to get started with, easy to learn, and embraces conventions over configuration. Today's Spring is part of the Spring.IO platform. Today's Spring is...Pivotal. Join Spring developer advocate Josh Long as he re-introduces you to today's Spring, a Spring you may not have seen yet.

Nov 19th Webinar: Dynamic routing at 1 million per second with Spring Integration

News | Pieter Humphrey | October 16, 2013 | ...

Speakers: John Davies and Josh Long

While some of today's systems can hit μSec performance it usually take a lot of good design and optimisation. The solution is often hard-baked and inflexible and the end user still wants the flexibility promised by ESBs with dynamic routing based on runtime rules with transformations from one format to another. Josh and John will walk you through the latest in high performance message handling with Spring Integration covering non-XML (binary and CSV) data, code generation, on-the-fly compilation, dynamic routing and in-memory queries - an hour well spent.
