Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at the bootiful possibilities of integrating Spring Boot and Spring WebFlux, the reactive web runtime and framework in Spring Framework 5, with Scala and the Scala ecosystem and integrating the Spring WebFlux reacive runtime with other Reactive Streams implementations like Akka Streams.

On behalf of the community I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Session 2.0.0.M5. This release brings a Redis ReactiveSessionRepository implementation. The webflux sample has been updated to demonstrate its use.

You can find the complete details of the release in the changelog

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! By happy coincidence, today is also Ada Lovelace day. According to the Finding Ada site: Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. Happy Ada Lovelace day!

I've just returned from the epic ByteMyCode conference in Wroclaw, Poland, and am now in Seattle, Washington to talk to customers and to [hold an open event today at Pivotal Seattle on Cloud Native Java. Later today I'm off to Toronto, Canada to visit customers and appear at the SpringOne Platform Preview show…

The JAX Innovation awards just took place. The Spring team has been a recipient of the award in a few cases over the years (and a nominee in even more cases), but this year was exceptional.

This year, the jury awarded Spring co-founder and lead engineer Juergen Hoeller (or Jürgen Höller, in his native (Austrian) German language) the Special Jury Award.

We don't normally talk about individuals on this blog, but few can be said to have done so much towards making Spring - and all that has come as a result of it - so successful as Juergen Hoeller has, and does.

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at the reactive programming support in Spring Security 5.0. We'll look at it in terms of its integration with Spring WebFlux, the reactive web runtime and framework in Spring Framework 5.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This last week's been nuts! So much good stuff on offer. Spring Framework 5.0 is now available! And with Spring Framework 5.0 comes a deluge of releases, all of which you'll see in this post. Also, this week I - and others from the Pivotal and Spring teams - are at JavaOne and I hope you'll come find us and say hi at our booth or the various talks.

• Last week I looked at using Spring Framework 5's support for building reactive websocket-based applications.
• Spring AMQP and Spring Integration lead Gary Russell has just announced Spring AMQP 2.0.RC2.
• At long last, Spring Framework 5.0.GA is here! The new release integrates with Project Reactor, includes a reactive web runtime, Kotlin extensions, and baselines on Java EE 7 and Java 8. The new release has entirely too many new things to hope to capture here so check out the release blog and then check out the What's New post
• Spring and Reactor ninja Simon Baslé just announced the Reactor Bismuth release…

On behalf of the Spring Data engineering team I am happy to announce the general availability of Spring Data Kay. It's the first major revision since Spring Data's inception in 2009 and thus packed with tons of features. Here are the most significant ones:

• Upgrade to Spring Framework 5.0, Java 8 and JavaEE 7 as baseline
• Revised repository APIs (better method names, Optional etc.)
• A revised repository composition model
• Support for reactive data access for Cassandra, Couchbase, MongoDB and Redis
• Addition of Spring Data Geode to the release train
• Use of nullability annotations and advanced runtime checks on those
• Kotlin support for null-safety and immutable data classes supported through Kotlin constructors
• General Java 9 compatibility
