SpringOne2GX 2014 Replay: Security for Microservices with Spring and OAuth2

News | Pieter Humphrey | December 02, 2014 | ...

Security for Microservices with Spring and OAuth2

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014.

Speaker: Dr. David Syer

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/syer-microservicesecurity

OAuth2 is a lightweight security protocol that is well-suited for use with HTTP, the protocol at the heart of many modern architectures. Spring Security OAuth2 has a load of new features, not the least of which being the `@Configuration` support in version 2.0. Combine these with Spring Boot and you have a platform which can get you a secure HTTP service application in about 20 lines of code. This presentation shows how the combination of rapid development and production-ready features in the modern Spring stack are a perfect mixture for developing secure components in a system composed of microservices. We explore the new features in Spring OAuth2, guide you through the choice of which to use and when, and show how easy they are to enable quickly. This is the 90 minute version of the same talk that was on the Spring webinar program recently.

This Week in Spring - December 2, 2014

Engineering | Josh Long | December 02, 2014 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm at the Rich Web Experience in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, joining my pal Matt Stine for a workshop on building microservices with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and Cloud Foundry.

So, without further ado, let's get to it:

Spring Integration Java DSL (pre Java 8): Line by line tutorial

Engineering | Artem Bilan | December 01, 2014 | ...

Dear Spring Community!

Recently we published the Spring Integration Java DSL: Line by line tutorial, which uses Java 8 Lambdas extensively. We received some feedback that this is good introduction to the DSL, but a similar tutorial is needed for those users, who can't move to the Java 8 or aren't yet familiar with Lambdas, but wish to take advantage

So, to help those Spring Integration users who want to moved from XML configuration to Java & Annotation configuration, we provide this line-by-line tutorial to demonstrate that, even without Lambdas, we gain a lot from Spring Integration…

This Week in Spring - November 25th, 2014

Engineering | Josh Long | November 25, 2014 | ...

Egads! Can you believe it's already almost the end of the year? Time has been screaming fast! It's the week of Thanksgiving for those of us in the United States. This is a wonderful time of year to sit back, find a nice Spring IO guide or blog to read, and then build something awesome.. oh, and it's an ideal time to spend in the company of friends and family and to reflect on those and that for which we're grateful. I'm sure I speak for the Spring team and Pivotal at large when I say that we're grateful for you, our inspiring community, users and customers.

But if you do want something to read…

Spring Cloud 1.0.0.M3 Available Now

Releases | Dave Syer | November 25, 2014 | ...

Spring Cloud 1.0.0.M3 is available now in the repo.spring.io repository. The following projects all had a 1.0.0.M3 release:

  • Spring Cloud Config: centralized key-value (or YAML) configuration management. Now supports the config server being fully embedded in another application.

  • Spring Cloud Netflix. Also has better support for embeddability of the server components. Now also properly records load balancer statistics in Ribbon-enabled Spring RestTemplate.

  • Spring Cloud for Amazon Web Services. Has new Spring Boot integration points, externalizing configuration for AWS metadata.

  • Spring Cloud Security: super simple OAuth2 in a declarative style.

  • Spring Cloud Bus: broadcasts framework-level events to Spring Cloud components. Big news here is that we now have a RabbitMQ-based aggregator for Hystrix metrics (based on Turbine 2), so you don't have to rely on having direct HTTP access to all service instances.

Spring Integration Java DSL: Line by line tutorial

Engineering | Artem Bilan | November 25, 2014 | ...

Dear Spring Community!

Just after the Spring Integration Java DSL 1.0 GA release announcement I want to introduce the Spring Integration Java DSL to you as a line by line tutorial based on the classic Cafe Demo integration sample. We describe here Spring Boot support, Spring Framework Java and Annotation configuration, the IntegrationFlow feature and pay tribute to Java 8 Lambda support which was an inspiration for the DSL style. Of course, it is all backed by the Spring Integration Core project.

For those, who are not interested in Java 8 yet, we provide similar tutorial without Lambdas: Spring Integration Java DSL (pre Java 8): Line by line tutorial

First of all, we are glad to share with you that on Nov 12, 2014, DZone research recognized Spring Integration as the leader in the ESB / Integration framework space, leading with 42% marketshare, in a publication of their recent survey results. And the report is…
