This session will get you up to speed on the best practices for building backend services to support highly sophisticated single page apps Using Spring 4. Topics covered include error handling, security, performance, api evolution, automated testing, integration with backbone, AngularJS & RequireJS. The presentation will demo working code examples and a github repo where you can access the demos.
In this talk we will cover what it takes to migrate a Spring 3.x application to Spring 4. Some of the questions that we will answer: What improvements does Spring 4 offer over Spring 3 and why should I invest in upgrading? What do I do with all of my current XML configuration? What about dependent library upgrades like Hibernate and Jackson? Part of this talk will focus on updating a specific application based on Spring 3 up to date with Spring 4 and the latest in best practices and design.
Phillip Verheyden's talk offers a very pragmatic look athow to move Spring 3 application - including dependencies like Jackson and Hibernate - to take advantage of newer and new features in Spring 4.x.
Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week, I'm in Barcelona, Spain for the Spring I/O conference.

Spring Social lead Craig Walls just announced the release of Spring Social Facebook 2.0.1, the first maintenance release in the Spring Social Facebook 2.0 line.
By its very nature, Spring Integration allows for building sophisticated business systems that aggregate multiple sources of data and orchestrate a complex set of business services. But complex functionality doesn’t have to translate into complex design. In fact, through its emphasis on low coupling, Spring Integration is fostering a highly modular application design, with huge benefits in terms of understandability, reusability and testability. In this session you will learn how to design your Spring Integration applications in a modular fashion, by grouping together logically-related components into subsystems that interact with each other, a core concept of Spring XD, but can be successfully applied in any application. Besides the benefit of a heightened level of abstraction, this approach has a number of other important benefits as well: first, such subsystems are reusable, and, secondly, and equally important, they can be tested in isolation. So, after a brief discussion on reusability, the presentation will focus on how to unit test such subsystems and even complete Spring Integration applications, with the ultimate goal of applying business-centric techniques such as Behaviour-Driven Development.
To stay competitive, enterprises are scrambling to find ways to rapidly deliver applications that are a pleasure to use on a wide range of devices. Microservice architectures, continuous delivery and the cloud can give businesses the agility to transform into great software businesses, but how do you actually turn those buzzwords into reality? Here we present our take on a solution. Using Spring Boot, Java 8’s Nashorn JavaScript engine, and Cloud Foundry, we’ve created a framework that makes it really easy to deliver API’s to support the rich and highly contextualized experiences that users expect in world class applications. We’d like to share with you what we’ve built, and what we’ve learned along the way.
The world of client-server has changed. The traditional application of REST is no longer the best fit. We're depolying applications into a world where users expect responsive UIs, on all their devices, even while disconnected. We're deploying into a world where connection latency, mobile radio usage and battery life have become primary concerns. Differential Synchronization (DS) is an algorithm that syncs data across N parties, even in the face of dropped connections, offline devices, etc. It makes more efficient use of connections by batching and sending only changes, in both directions, from client to server and from server to client. We’ll look at how it can be used with JSON Patch to synchronize application data between clients and servers over HTTP Patch, WebSocket, and STOMP, and how it can be integrated into the Spring ecosystem.
