Readers of Josh Bloch's "Effective Java" are sometimes perplexed when they reach Item #15: "Minimize Mutability." If we are to minimize mutability, then obviously we must maximize immutability. While all Java programmers utilize immutable objects every day (e.g. java.lang.String), when asked to create our own immutable classes, we often hesitate. However, if we push through this hesitation, we'll reap the benefits of simpler reasoning about program correctness, free thread safety, and other benefits. One of the primary issues faced by enterprise Java programmers seeking to utilize immutable classes are framework issues. Enterprise frameworks from Spring to Hibernate have varying levels of support for immutability, ranging from decent to nonexistent. However, there several practical solutions available to the Spring developer, and this session will illuminate what's available.

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA. Speaker: Ben Hale As REST-ful data services become more widespread, it is becoming clear that they have to change to suit new consumer needs. This evolution is often disruptive to consumers, but it doesn't have to be. This session, a follow up to 'REST-ful API Design', discusses various strategies for evolving a REST-ful API and how the strategies can be implemented using Spring. Learn more about REST at:

This talk is for everyone who wants to efficiently use Spring Batch and Spring Integration together. Users of Spring Batch often have the requirements to interact with other systems, to schedule the periodic execution Batch jobs and to monitor the execution of Batch jobs. Conversely, Spring Integration users periodically have Big Data processing requirements, be it for example the handling of large traditional batch files or the execution of Apache Hadoop jobs. For these scenarios, Spring Batch is the ideal solution. This session will introduce Spring Batch Integration, a project that provides support to easily tie Spring Batch and Spring Integration together. We will cover the following scenarios: Launch Batch Jobs through Spring Integration Messages Generate Informational Messages Externalize Batch Process Execution using Spring Integration Create Big Data Pipelines with Spring Batch and Spring Integration Learn more about Spring Batch: http://projects.spring.io/spring-batch/ Learn more about Spring Integration: http://projects.spring.io/spring-integration/

Reactor is a succinct and powerful foundational library for building reactive, fastdata applications on the JVM. Although it is part of the Spring IO platform, the core Reactor libraries have no dependency on Spring. Above the core library, there's direct support for the Disruptor via the high-speed Processor abstraction which provides a Reactor API over the RingBuffer, first-class support for the high-performance JavaChronicle persistent message-passing library through the flexible PersistentQueue abstraction, first-class support for Groovy closures and @CompileStatic, high-performance TCP client and server support based on Netty 4.0, powerful annotation-based Spring support, and much more. Join Jon Brisbin at the event to get introduced to the first major GA release of Reactor, and learn how Reactor's Promise and Stream APIs are used to wrangle the inherent complexity of asynchronous, event-driven application code.

Using a module that provides a Spring XML namespace and integration API is muscle memory for most people: add the .xsd to the imported XML schemas for the configuration file, maybe enable a annotation-driven variant if it's available, autocomplete some XML stanzas, and then you're set! But what about Java configuration? Java configuration has been around in some form since at least 2005. It was merged into the core framework in 2009 and since then we've seen a slew of new Java configuration-powered DSLs pop up. 2013, in particular, has seen alpha-or-better cuts of Java configuration support for Spring MVC, Spring Security (and Spring Security OAuth), Spring Batch, Spring Social, Spring Data (including all the modules under it: REST, MongoDB, JPA, Neo4j, Redis, etc), Spring HATEOAS, and more all provide milestone-or-better cuts of a Java configuration integration. Tomcat 7 (and all Servlet 3-compatible containers) offer a programmatic alternative to web.xml. This provides another great integration hook for modules that wish to integrate with the web container, removing the configuration burden from the user. There's a lot of power here and it's easy to get started if you know what to look for. In this talk, join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long and Spring-core commmitter, all-around nice guy, and Spring Boot ninja Phil Webb as they introduce the Java configuration support in the various Spring projects, show how to approach them when integrating them into your code, and - if the situation demands - how to write your own Java configuration DSL.

The Spring Framework re-invented enterprise Java in the last decade. Together with the rest of the upcoming Spring IO micro platform, a new Spring Framework generation will power the next decade of JVM-based innovation.

Join Juergen Hoeller to learn about Spring Framework 4.0, its refined annotation-based component and configuration model, and how it relates to Java 8, Java EE 7, Groovy, WebSockets, as well as Spring Boot and Spring Integration.

Are you an impatient programmer who wishes the keyboard could keep up with you? If you've ever wished Java and Spring could do more to keep up, then this is the place to be. We present Spring Boot, a toolkit and runtime platform that will get you up and running with Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services faster than you believed possible. The goals are:

• Radically faster and widely accessible getting started experience for Spring development
• Be opinionated out of the box, but get out of the way quickly as requirements start to diverge from the defaults
• Provide a range of non-functional features that are common to large classes of projects (e.g. embedded servers, security, metrics, health checks, externalized configuration)
• First class support for REST-ful services, modern web applications, batch jobs, and enterprise integration
• Applications that adapt their behavior or configuration to their environment
• Optionally use Groovy features like DSLs and AST transformations to accelerate the implementation of basic business requirements

We illustrate how these goals can be achieved through a series of demonstrations, and in-depth reviews of the design principles and codebase of new features in Spring Framework 4.0 and in the wider Spring Ecosystem .
