Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at the Codecentric Spring Boot Admin and the Ordina JWorks Microservices Dashboard

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Brisbane, Australia, on the second leg of the YOW! conference circuit. If you're around, please say hi or find me when YOW! moves to Sydney in a few days.

We've got a lot to cover so let's get to it!

• If you're not up to date with JUnit 5.0 and Spring Framework, this is a must - see talk from Sam Brannen at Swiftmind
• good news! the webinar introducing CQRS with Axon and Spring Boot that Axon lead and founder Allard Buijze and I delivered is now online
• Spring Integration lead Gary Russell just announced Spring Integration 5.0 M1. This release features a lot of nice new features and simplifies some older ones. One of my favorite features: it packages the Java DSL in the framework itself now, instead of a separate release! Get the bits, kick the tires.
• Janne Valkealahti has just announced Spring Statemachine 1.2.0.RC1…

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at how to manage distributed transactions in Spring with JTA.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I can't believe how quickly this year has gone! This week I'm in Melbourne, Australia for the YOW! conference and then week it's off to Brisbane and then Sydney for the next editions of the same show. Australia is the furthest I've ever been from my 'native' timezone - so even though I always post This Week in Spring every Tuesday, I appreciate that it's still Monday for anybody west of Europe right now! Tonight, I'll join my pal, Intellij's Trisha Gee, and we'll be speaking at the Melbourne JVM User Group. I'm super excited to be here…

Last weeks' Spring Data Kay M1 is the first release ever that comes with support for reactive data access. Its initial set of supported stores — MongoDB, Apache Cassandra and Redis — all ship reactive drivers already, which made them very natural candidates for such a prototype. Let’s take a more detailed look at the new programming model and the APIs that make up that support.

Reactive Repositories

The repositories programming model is the most high-level abstraction Spring Data users usually deal with. They’re usually comprised of a set of CRUD methods defined in a Spring Data provided…

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at Cloud Foundry, a an open-source cloud platform that's optimized for managing applications. To those of you in the US, happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm.. home! It's Thanksgiving this week here in the states, after all. I am sure that I speak for the entire Pivotal team when I say that we are grateful for you, the most wonderful community on the planet. Thanks so much, and if you're celebrating Thanksgiving, then happy Thanksgiving to you! When you're finished with your meal - barely able to keep an eye open - I hope you'll find a comfy arm chair and take in some of the content in this week's roundup.

• the good Dr. David Syer doesn't always do view templating, but when he does..
• check out this replay of Spring Security lead Rob Winch and ninja Joe Grandja as they look forward to Spring Security 4.1
• continuing our Spring Tips series, last week we looked at Spring Cloud Data Flow as a way to quickly build stream-processing solutions
• Hurray! Congratulations to the Apache Geode project who just saw their project promoted to an Apache top level project
• I really liked this post from Spring Cloud ninja Ryan Baxter investigating distributed tracing with Spring Cloud Sleuth
• wanna start trouble? Then check out this …

NOTE: If you are reading this in December 2023 or later, there was a 1.16 release of JMustache that added "inheritance" support. This is an optional Mustache spec feature but was previously unimplemented in JMustache. It allows you to do the "layout with included body" type templating that is very common in web apps, and needed in the sample for this article. The sample has been updated in Github to use inheritance instead of the workaround with lambdas presented below.

I don’t do much server-side templating, but when I do…​ well frankly, I tend to forget things. Every template language has its strengths and weaknesses, and they all have syntax to remember, and more frequently to forget. Recently I completed some work on the old Spring Petclinic, converting it to use Thymeleaf in the view layer, and re-organizing the code to be a bit more "modern". I enjoyed working with Thymeleaf 3, and found…

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll quickly look at how to build stream-processing pipelines with Spring Cloud Data Flow
