We are pleased to announce that Spring for Apache Hadoop version 2.0 is now GA.

---

Providing support for Hadoop v2.0 and YARN while maintaining compatibility with Hadoop v1.0

---

It's been well over a year since Spring for Apache Hadoop 1.0 was released. Spring was part of VMware at that time. Spring for Apache Hadoop 1.0 supported Hadoop 1.0.4 and 1.1.1 but not the latest 2.0 alpha versions. A lot has changed since then. Spring is now part of Pivotal which brings us together with a great portfolio of open source technologies. The Apache Hadoop project has released several new versions of Hadoop…

The modern web is rich with APIs that can be consumed by other applications, enabling an integrated experience for the users who hold accounts on the websites that front those APIs. Many of these APIs are secured with OAuth, an authorization specification for securing REST APIs. Spring Social is an extension to the Spring Framework that enables Spring applications to establish connections with those APIs on behalf of their users with little or no need to muck about in the intricacies of OAuth. In this session, we'll explore how Spring Social brings API connectivity to Spring applications. We'll also uncover the newest features of Spring Social that make it easier than ever to link your application's users to the identities they maintain on various sites across the web.

Speaker: Jason Cline

The proliferation of mobile devices poses challenges for corporate IT departments. End users want to choose their own device, but also want to access corporate web applications, but the need for security often means that they have to surrender management of their device to their IT department. With this in mind, we've created Sencha Space -- a secure and managed environment for deploying HTML5 business applications that run on multiple devices. During this session Jason Cline will discuss the Sencha Space SDK's device-level options for secure data storage, as well as show you how to implement the Invoke API to connect web applications with one another. You'll also experience how easily applications can be centrally managed without the need to access the device.

Spring Boot 1.1.1 has been released and is available now from repo.spring.io and maven central. This release will form part of the Spring IO Platform and offers a number of new features and improvements over 1.0. For upgrade instructions and "new and noteworthy" features please see the release notes.

Here are some of the highlights:

Templating Support

Spring Boot lets you write apps better than ever. But did you ever think about writing all those support scripts and tools you inevitably need with Boot as well? In this webinar, see how the Spring team has already picked up and run with Spring Boot CLI as a powerful way to manage things like all open issues against the 60+ getting started guides. See how to monitor application logs using a little Spring Integration, Spring WebSocket+STOMP, and other technologies, all with some lightweight Boot+Groovy code.

Creating a transactional website that is secure, fast, and responsive is a challenge all on its own. Creating one in 24 hours borders madness, however with the resources that Spring brings to the table, this can be accomplished. Casey Doolittle and Phil Dutson were issued the task of creating a charity-benefit website two days before the sale started. By leveraging the flexibility and power that various Spring components bring to the table, this mighty feat was accomplished. During this talk Casey and Phil will discuss the how and why of using Spring 3.2.4, Spring Web MVC, and Spring Security 3.1.4 as their framework of choice to get the project done on time.

Greetings Spring community,

Today we have just published the first getting started guide written and submitted by a community member: Producing a SOAP web service.

Maciej Walkowiak crafted a guide that served his needs and decided to contribute to the community. It lined up with expressed interest in such a guide from others. Maciej used https://github.com/spring-guides/getting-started-guide as his template and submitted a pull request to it containing his crafted guide.

We were able to merge all of his commits into an independent repository, apply some editorial polish, and after final review…

Developing an application to a cloud platform involves working with deployed application's environment and connecting to services. Spring Cloud, a new project, simplifies these tasks in a variety of cloud platforms including Cloud Foundry and Heroku. Spring Cloud makes it possible to deploy the same artifact (a war or a jar) to multiple cloud environments. It supports multiple clouds through the concept of Cloud Connector and provides out of the box implementation for Cloud Foundry and Heroku, and extension points for other cloud platforms. In this talk, we will introduce the Spring Cloud project, show how you can simplify configuring applications for cloud deployment, discuss its extensibility mechanism, and put it to good use by showing practical examples from the field.

Developing, deploying, and operating cloud applications should be as easy as (if not easier than) local applications. That is and should be a governing principle behind any cloud platform, library, or tool. Spring Cloud--an open-source library--makes it easy to develop JVM applications for the cloud. With it, applications can connect to services and discover information about the cloud environment easily in multiple clouds such as Cloud Foundry and Heroku. Further, you can extend it to other cloud platforms and new services.

In this blog (first in a series), I will introduce Spring Cloud and show its usage from the application developer point of view. We will develop a simple application and deploy to Cloud Foundry and Heroku…
