Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, Josh Long talks to Spring Security engineer Ria Stein. Ria is a new, but impactful, engineer on the Spring Security team working on things like Josh’s beloved lambda DSL.

• Eleftheria Stein-Kousathana’s page on the Spring team roster
• Ria just published a post on the Spring Security lambda DSL on which she worked. Definitely worth a read!

Overview of Lambda DSL

The release of Spring Security 5.2 includes enhancements to the DSL, which allow HTTP security to be configured using lambdas.

It is important to note that the prior configuration style is still valid and supported. The addition of lambdas is intended to provide more flexibility, but their usage is optional.

You may have seen this style of configuration in the Spring Security documentation or samples.
Let us take a look at how a lambda configuration of HTTP security compares to the previous configuration style.

On behalf of the community, I’m pleased to announce the availability of the Spring Data Moore SR2 and Lovelace SR13 service releases.

Both releases fix 66 tickets in total, mostly bugfixes. We decided to ship both versions on short notice to address bugs around auditing and converter registration for a broader range of users, as we’ve noted an increased number of bug reports in both areas. If you use Spring Data through Spring Boot, you can consume the released artifacts by setting the spring-data-releasetrain.version property to Moore-SR2 or Lovelace-SR13.

We are pleased to announce the 3.1.0.RC1 release of Spring Cloud Open Service Broker. Support for Open Service Broker API v2.15 is now feature complete, and we expect for this to be the final milestone before a GA release. Thanks to the community for your feedback and contributions! This release includes the following fixes and enhancements:

• Upgrade to Spring Boot 2.2.1.RELEASE
• Add ServiceBrokerMaintenanceInfoConflictException to handle MaintenanceInfoConflict error scenarios.
• ServiceBrokerInvalidParametersException now returns an HTTP 400 when a create or update request is malformed or includes invalid parameters. Previously it was, incorrectly, returning an HTTP 422.
• CreateServiceInstanceBindingRequest now extends AsyncParameterizedServiceInstanceRequest in order to utilize a common request object and reduce redundancy.
• Update reference documentation.
