Engineering | Josh Long | September 06, 2022 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! How are you? It's a fantastic Tuesday, the 5th of September, 2022, and I couldn't be happier. It's also Labor Day weekend here in the US. It marks the unofficial end of summer, which is a bit sad. But, on the upside, it's a four-day weekend for me! I'm technically off today. So, you'll forgive me, but I won't spend too much time here. Let's dive right into this week's roundup!

Hi, Spring fans! How are you? How're you doin' this fine tuesday morning? I'm doing well, of course, because this week VMware's tentpole show - VMware Explore - is happening not even a mile from my home, here in San Francisco!

Indeed, I've got a lunch to get to, so let's get this this week's wrapup done a little more quickly: without further ado....

Creating a custom Spring Cloud Gateway Filter

Engineering | Fredrich Ombico | August 26, 2022 | ...

In this article, we look into writing a custom extension for Spring Cloud Gateway. Before we get started, let’s go over how Spring Cloud Gateway works:

Spring Cloud Gateway diagram

  1. First, a client makes a network request to the Gateway
  2. The Gateway is defined with a number of routes, each with Predicates to match the request to the route. For example, you can match on the path segment of the URL or the HTTP method of the request.
  3. Once matched, the Gateway executes pre-request logic on each of the filters applied to the route. For example, you might want to add query parameters to your request
  4. A proxy filter routes the request to the proxied service
  5. The service executes and returns a response
  6. The gateway receives the response and executes post-request logic on each filter before returning the response. For example…

Spring Batch 5.0.0-M5 is available now!

Releases | Mahmoud Ben Hassine | August 24, 2022 | ...

I am pleased to announce that Spring Batch 5.0.0-M5 is now available from our milestone repository. The main theme of this milestone is improving testing support in Spring Batch. This post walks through the major changes in this area as well as other changes introduced in this milestone release. For the complete list of changes, see the release notes.

Test utilities configuration updates

Up to version 4.3, the JobLauncherTestUtils used to autowire the job under test with the goal of facilitating the test setup. But what if multiple jobs are defined in the test context? And what if no Job beans are defined at all? So while this autowiring was convenient for most cases, it turned out to cause several issues in the aforementioned situations. In this release, and based on community feedback, we have decided to remove the autowiring of any job in JobLauncherTestUtils
