Hey Spring Community!

I hope you are enjoying Spring One Essentials these days. The most exciting feature for me is an Observability which is spread throughout the Spring portfolio from now on. Nevertheless, today I’d like to share with a project I’m working on since holidays, where the mentioned observability makes a perfect sense, too.

I’ll start from the far. Let’s imagine we are learning a new programming language! I do learn Go to better understand Kubernetes, for example. Of course, we deal with some primitives and basic structures, first of all. Then we implement some well-known…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! Today is a very day for you see, today we kick off SpringOne Essentials, the online incarnation of SpringOne, online. We'll see you live, on stream, in just a few hours!.

SpringOne Essentials is going to be amazing, but before we get there, and learn about all the big things in the Spring ecosystem for the last year, let's look at all the big things in the last week, with this week's recap!

• Spring Boot 2.7.8 available now
• Spring Boot 3.0.2 available now
• Spring Modulith 0.3 released
• A Bootiful Podcast: Dr. Amanda Martin, Gradle developer advocate
• Adventures in Maven Dependency Conflict Resolution
• Create better Spring libraries with @Enable… Annotations
• Differences Between Spring Data JPA findFirst() and findTop()
• Extracting a Custom Header From the Request in Spring MVC
• Interesting new filters on Spring Cloud Gateway 4.0
• Set up and observe a Spring Boot application with Grafana Cloud, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry
…

Hot on the heels of Spring Boot 3.0.2, I am excited to announce the 0.3 release of Spring Modulith. The release is packed with improvements. We have tweaked a couple of things that might require your attention and a couple of adapting changes to your code. The most notable changes are:

• GH-114 – We renamed the ….modulith.model package to ….modulith.core. This primarily affects ApplicationModules. Please adapt your imports accordingly.

• GH-120 – The documentation support now generates diagram files using the *.puml file extension, as suggested by PlantUML. Please adapt your imports accordingly.

• GH-103 – ApplicationModuleInitializer implementations will be triggered upon application startup, in the order following the application module dependency structure (more core ones are invoked first). Also, ApplicationModules exposes a ….getComparator() to order Spring beans that way. Note, that this requires the JGraphT library to be on the classpath (automatically pulled in via the spring-modulith-runtime artifact). See the reference documentation for details.
