In this article we continue our discussion of how to use Spring Security with Angular JS in a "single page application". Here we show how to use Spring Security OAuth together with Spring Cloud to extend our API Gateway to do Single Sign On and OAuth2 token authentication to backend resources. This is the fifth in a series of articles, and you can catch up on the basic building blocks of the application or build it from scratch by reading the first article, or you can just go straight to the source code in Github. In the last article we built a small distributed application that used …

This post is a guest post by community member Tadaya Tsuyukubo (@ttddyy), creator of the Spring Social Slideshare project. Thanks Tadaya! I'd like to see more of these guest posts, so - as usual - don't hesitate to ping me! -Josh

Spring Social Slideshare is one of the community modules in Spring Social ecosystem. It is a Java binding built on top of the Spring Social framework to interact with the SlideShare REST API.

Spring Social modules provide an implementation of the ApiBinding interface that binds Java interfaces and concrete implementation classes to a REST API. By convention, an interface is named as target service, e.g. GitHub, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. The implementation class is of the form *Template, e.g.: GitHubTemplate, LinkedInTemplate, and FacebookTemplate. In Spring Social Slideshare, there is a Slideshare interface and SlideshareTemplate implementation class. You can use spring to inject the SlideshareTemplate to your service. Or, if you choose to, you can directly instantiate …

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! We've got a lot to cover, so without further ado, let's get to it!

1. Spring XD co-lead Dr. Mark Pollack's just announced that Spring XD 1.1 RC1 is now available! Now's the time to get the bits, try it out and see if there any gaps!
2. If you've been reading the amazing Dr. Syer's blogs of late, you'll know that he's been introducing people to how to use expose and secure REST services for a UI client. The fourth post looks at how to insert an API gateway between the clients and the backend service. The fifth post then introduces OAuth as a drop-in replacement for the bespoke authentication session tokens being used. If you're not following this series, do go back and reread them. This series treats a subject that I get asked…

It seems like a lifetime ago, but a few short years ago I was leading a $100 million government project for a large system integrator that involved 50+ developers, 20+ testers, 15+ managers, 5+ ops and a cast of characters. Once a week we had to do our deploy.

Despite using Scrum, Cruise Control, SVN, Java, Eclipse, Guava, Google Guice, UML, JUnit, PMD, Findbugs, Checkstyle, MDD, TDD, eclEmma and mostly modern tools; our deploy process was a fragile, long, manual, person intensive process. Each Friday night we started. A long email thread began the process with a text check list that we…

On behalf of the Spring XD team, I am very pleased to announce that the Spring XD 1.1 Release Candidate is now available for download.

The 1.1 RC1 release includes several new features as well as bug fixes.

One theme in the 1.1 release is around Stream processing. The 1.1 M2 version introduced support for Reactor’s Stream API in processing modules. The 1.1 RC1 release adds support for stream processing using RxJava’s Observable API and Spark Streaming alongside the existing Spark job support. By providing a range of options, you can pick the functional programming model that best suits the…

In this article we continue our discussion of how to use Spring Security with Angular JS in a "single page application". Here we show how to build an API Gateway to control the authentication and access to the backend resources using Spring Cloud. This is the fourth in a series of articles, and you can catch up on the basic building blocks of the application or build it from scratch by reading the first article, or you can just go straight to the source code in Github. In the last article we built a simple distributed application that used Spring Session to authenticate the backend resources. In this one we make the UI server into a reverse proxy to the backend resource server, fixing the issues with the last…
