I'm happy to share the news that Morten Andersen-Gott (aka, @mortenag on Twitter or magott on GitHub) has released Spring Social Yammer 1.0.0. Spring Social Yammer is one of over 25 community-led extension to Spring Social. It brings Spring Social-style connection and API binding support to applications needing to connect with Yammer.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! We finished SpringOne China over the weekend and are today
at the first of two events for SpringOne India in Bangalore and SpringOne in Hyderabad.
The shows have been really amazing! In particular, we've enjoyed the food, the sites and the amazing community that have turned up in droves!

<LI> Roy Clarkson has announced <a href = "http://www.springsource.org/spring-android/news/1.0.1-released">Spring for Android 1.0</a>, which adds support for Jackson 2.x in <code>RestTemplate</code> through the new <code>MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter</code>. It also addresses several bugs and compatibility issues with <code>RestTemplate</code> and Android Jelly Bean.</LI>
<LI>The <a href="http://www.tomcatexpert.com">TomcatExpert.com portal</a> has a nice post on Spring Insight Developer to analyze code, <a href="http://www.springsource.org/node/3761">install it with Tomcat, and…
Last October, at SpringOne2GX, I introduced the Spring Scala project to the world. Since then, I've also presented this project at Devoxx. In this blog post, I would like to give further details about this project and how you can use it in your Scala projects.
Why Spring Scala?
The goal of the Spring Scala project is simply to make it easier to use the Spring framework in Scala. We believe that there are many Spring users out there who want to try Scala out, but do not want to leave their experience with Spring behind. This project is meant for those people.
Obviously, you can use the (Java) Spring Framework in Scala today, without Spring Scala. But doing so will be awkward in certain places. Just like any programming language, Scala has its own, different way of doing things, and using a pure Java framework like Spring in Scala will just feel "too Java-esque". Spring Scala tries to fix…
The Spring team are very happy to announce that Spring Framework 3.2 GA is now released and available via both the SpringSource repository and Maven Central.
We gave a talk on IOC + Javascript at SpringOne 2GX. Front-end web application architecture seemed to be quite a hot topic at the conference, in general, and our talk seemed to be very well received. Here are the video and slides from the talk.
We'll also be starting a blog series about architectural patterns for modern Javascript web apps, featuring posts from members of SpringSource's new front-end architecture team, S2JS. The posts will expand on the concepts presented in our talk, as well as those presented by Scott Andrews and Jeremy Grelle in their talks.
The first post in the series is coming next week. Until then, we hope you enjoy the video and the slides. If you'd like to get a head start, you can browse the demo app's source code…
Spring for Android is an extension of the Spring Framework that aims to simplify the development of native Android applications.
This release adds support for Jackson 2.x in RestTemplate through the new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter. It also addresses several bugs and compatibility issues with RestTemplate and Android Jelly Bean. See the changelog and reference manual for more information.
Wow guys! December 4th already!
Time sure flies when you're having fun!
Welcome back to another installment of <EM>This Week in Spring</EM>. This week, I'm in Beijing for <a href="http://springonechina.cloudfoundry.com">SpringOne China</a> and, next week, I'm off to India for <A href="http://springoneindia.cloudfoundry.com/">SpringOne India</a>. If you're in Beijing, Bangalore or Hyderabad, I'd love to see you at these events!
Alright, let's get on with this week's roundup!
Mark Fisher
gets the ball rolling this week with a very nice present: Spring Integration 2.2.0.GA has been released! The new release is well described in the
blogs on the various new features referenced in the release announcement, so be sure to check it out!
</LI>
<LI>Martin Lippert's announced that the <a href="http://www.springsource.org/node/3757">Spring Tool Suite and Groovy Tool Suite 3.2.0.M1 have been released!</a> </li>
<LI> Tobias…
I am happy to announce the first milestone release 3.2.0.M1 of the Spring Tool Suite (STS) and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS).
Highlights from this milestone build include:
overall performance improvements
updated to tc Server 2.8.1
improvements to Live Beans Graph feature
updated for Spring Integration 2.2
compilation times for AspectJ projects with AJDT have been improved (reduced!)
Both tool suites ship on top of the latest Eclipse Juno SR1 from September 2012. As soon as the performance work on the Eclipse Juno SR2 release is ready to be consumed, we will update to that version. In the meantime, we recommend to use the STS and GGTS versions on top of Eclipse 3.8.1.
The second milestone 3.2.0.M2 build is scheduled for late January 2013, followed by the 3.2.0 release in…
In the course of creating VAS, we did a lot of work to design a useful REST API.
REST is generally a very loose collection of principals that can be interpreted in many ways, so this talk would describe a more concrete idea of what a REST-ful API should look like.
In addition, the implementation of this API was done with many of the new features in Spring 3 and are a good demonstration of the power it provides.
About Ben Hale
Ben Hale is a senior software engineer with Springsource and a core developer on the SpringSource dm Server project. Ben specializes in middleware development with using technologies such as OSGi and Aspect Oriented Programming as well as directing the build and release processes for all products in the Spring and SpringSource portfolios.
His interests include middle-tier architecture and effective build and release management strategies.
Prior to joining SpringSource, Ben spent several years leading teams in architecture and development of large-scale enterprise management applications for the telecommunications industry.
IOC + Javascript
Thicker web clients and server-side JavaScript create complexity that must be managed through architectural patterns. JavaScript hasn't yet embraced lessons learned from other platforms, like Java+Spring. Existing JavaScript MVC frameworks are too rigid and lack sufficient architectural plumbing. Javascript needs flexible architectural infrastructure for building bigger, better apps.
In this talk, Brian and John will introduce several concepts, including JavaScript Modules and Inversion of Control, and demonstrate how they alleviate many of the dominant problems encountered when building large JavaScript apps. Attendees will gain a firmer understanding of new architectural patterns and witness tangible examples of how these patterns improve testability, refactorability, composability, division of work, and team scalability.
About Brian Cavalier
Brian is a server-side Java guy turned front-end engineer, and open source fanatic. From collaborative aircraft maintenance systems for the US Navy, to Computer Assisted Surgery systems for Orthopedic surgery, to a global-scale content curation and personalization system, he loves building things that users love to use. He works at VMware on making the web more awesome, and is co-lead of the cujo.js architecture unframework (cujojs.com), a lover of Siberian huskies, family, and things with two wheels.

John has been pushing the limits of the web since 1996 and has been totally engulfed in Javascript, HTML, and CSS since 2004. Of the 70+ enterprise-scale apps he's led, notable achievements include Ajax-ish and JSON-RPC-like browser apps way back in 1999 (US Patent 7,016,751), composable Javascript constructors for creating draggable modal dialogs in 2004, and a Javascript non-preemptive multi-tasking framework in 2007. When he's not working on his “top secret” project at VMWare or his latest side-project with his kids, John is sure to be coding tenaciously on the next generation of Javascript libraries at http://cujojs.github.com.
