If you missed the recent Cloud Foundry webinar that covered Spring development, you can catch the video replay on the Cloud Foundry YouTube channel. In this video, Ramnivas Laddad shows you how to take a real Spring application and target it to Cloud Foundry using both STS and the vmc command line.

Be sure to thumbs up the presentation if you find it useful and subscribe to the SpringSourceDev channel to see other recordings and screencasts.

On the way to Spring IO conference I'd like to announce the availability of Spring Data MongoDB 1.0.1. It's mainly a bug fix release covering a few glitches found in the first major release. We've fixed some issues in entity mapping, query execution and added a converter for UUIDs out of the box.

Downloads | JavaDocs | Reference Documentation | Changelog

The release is available from our Maven repository and from Maven Central as well. To learn more about the project, visit the Spring Data MongoDB Page. Looking forward to your feedback on the forum or in the issue tracker.

The Spring Roo team is pleased to announce the availability 1.2.1.RELEASE.  This is the first maintenance release for 1.2 and includes fixes for a number of issues in multi-module Maven support and JSF/PrimeFaces.  It also has  performance enhancements and has been updated to support the recent release of PrimeFaces 3.1 and Google App Engine 1.6.2.

Please note that to keep the distribution size small we have not included the reference documentation in the zip for this and future releases. The documentation, as always,  can be found on the Spring Roo site.

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the release of Spring Data JPA 1.1.0 RC1 as well as 1.0.3 GA. The release candidate includes a ton of new features and a variety of bug fixes. Here's a brief list of the most important ones:

• Support for locking
• Support for @IdClass in entities
• Support for LessThanEqual and GreaterThanEquals, True/False keywords in query methods
• Added CDI integration for repositories
• Improved parameter binding for derived queries for null values

The CDI integration was contributed by Dirk Mahler of Buschmais to a large degree. For a full list of changes see the changelog. Quite a few of the bugs fixed were back ported so we definitely recommend to upgrade to 1.0.3 as well as playing with the release candidate to help improving the final release. The 1.0.3 GA release can be obtained from Maven central while the release candidate is available via our milestone repository at http://repo.springsource.org/libs-milestone…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring . As usual, a lot to look at, so let's get to it.

<LI> The <a href="http://www.springsource.org/spring-mobile/news/1.0.0.rc1-released" target="_blank">1.0.0.RC1 version of Spring Mobile</a> has just been released. Spring Mobile provides an integration API that makes it easier for Spring MVC applications to build mobile client-specific applications.

<LI> Chris Richardson&#39;s talk, <a href="http://www.springsource.org/node/3463" target="_blank"><EM>Polyglot Persistence for Java Developers</EM></a>, has just been released. This is another great talk from SpringOne2GX, and  a good watch for anybody who wants a look at how to exploit…

Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce that the first release candidate of the Spring Mobile project is now available!

Spring Mobile provides extensions to Spring MVC that aid in the development of cross-platform mobile web applications. The 1.0.0.RC1 release ships a general facility for user site preference management that can be used independently or in conjunction with the mobile site switcher. See the changelog and reference manual for all the info.

Download the release distribution or pull the artifacts from Maven using the following:

    <repository>
        <id>org.springframework.maven.milestone</id>
        <name>Spring Maven Milestone Repository</name>
        <url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
    </repository>
&lt;dependency&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.mobile&lt;/groupId&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-mobile-device&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;version&gt;1.0.0.RC1&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;

Get sample apps over at github.com/SpringSource/spring-mobile-samples | git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-mobile-samples.git

This release marks our fifth iteration with early adopters in the community using Spring Mobile in their own applications. If you are building a mobile web app, we encourage you try out 1.0.0.RC1 and collaborate with us on the next iteration of the project.

In another session from SpringOne 2GX 2011 SpringSource engineer Stephen Bohlen examines Spring and Platform Interoperability. Stephen analyzes different approaches to Java and .NET interoperability, discusses how Spring can help and then provides a detailed sample application that expresses some of the best practices. Stephen's work on the Spring.NET project gives him the perfect perspective on how to address these sorts of problems.

Many thanks to InfoQ for coming to Chicago to record so many of the fantastic SpringOne 2GX presentations.

One of the top rated sessions from SpringOne 2GX 2011 was Chris Richardson's talk about Polyglot Persistence for Java Developers - Moving out of the Relational Comfort Zone. In this talk, Chris provides a great overview of the new non-relational storage options available to Java developers, including Cassandra, Redis and MongoDB. He then talks about the practical matters of when and how to incorporate them into your applications. If you haven't already been experimenting with noSQL datastores then this presentation provides the perfect introduction for you.

Welcome back to another installment of This Week in Spring.

 Seems like we were just staring down the holiday season a minute ago, doesn't it? Here we are a month on into the new year, already. Time sure does fly. 

We've got lots of exciting new content, and a lot of it is either videos or full texts that you can read, be sure to skim through this roundup and then find yourself a nice cozy chair to absorb the rest of it and enjoy!
