Yet another session from SpringOne 2GX 2011. This one gives instructions for how to get the most out of Spring and Google App Engine. Spring portability has given developers freedom of choice for applications servers and that now translates to a lot of freedom in choice of cloud platforms. This presentation is given by Chris Ramsdale, the Product Manager for Google App Engine and he covers a brief introduction to App Engine, how to use Spring, access to relation data in the cloud and gives tips for performance tweaks. This is a great introduction to using Spring on one of the many cloud…

Here is another session from SpringOne 2GX 2011. This one gives instructions for Writing Applications for Cloud Foundry Using Spring and MongoDB. The Spring material is presented by data expert Thomas Risberg and the Mongo material is presented by Jared Rosoff from 10gen. The presentation provides a technical introduction to Cloud Foundry, MongoDB and Spring Data for MongoDB (including Mongo Template and Mongo Repository support). This is a great way to dive into noSQL and cloud at the same time!

There were some amazing sessions at SpringOne 2GX 2011 and this one was no different. John Davies, co-founder and CTO of Incept5, talks about the challenges present in doing enterprise integration in large financial systems. John discusses the challenges specific to financial services which include massive volume, low latency and highly specialized data exchange formats. John then details specific places where enterprise integration can be successful and in particular where Spring Integration can provide great solutions.

Spring Integration 2.1 has been released! You can download it here or configure your Maven POM. This version is the result of more than one full year of work, and the team has resolved hundreds of issues since Spring Integration 2.0 was released. Interestingly, it has been 4 years and a few days since the very first public release of Spring Integration (0.5, released on Jan 3rd 2008). In this post, I simply want to provide a quick overview of the main new features of 2.1.

RabbitMQ/AMQP support

In the 'spring-integration-amqp' module, we have Channel Adapters for one-way messaging as well as Gateways for request/reply. The adapters and gateways can be used for inbound and/or outbound integration with a RabbitMQ broker. We also have AMQP-backed Message Channel implementations - both point-to-point and publish/subscribe - that can be used anywhere in the middle of a flow. For more information, see this section…

Here is more great content from SpringOne 2GX 2011, this time a complete update to Spring MVC 3.1 covering URI variables, Redirect & Flash attributes, UriComponentsBuilder, Multipart Request Support, and HDIV Integration. This video presentation is by Rossen Stoyanchev, one of the Spring experts who commits to Spring MVC and Spring Web Flow.
