Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's Tuesday and work is well underway to prepare for the huge SpringOne event in Las Vegas in just a few short week's time! I'm elated! So, let's get this roundup on the road so I can get back to the preparation frenzy...

• Spring AI Embraces OpenAI's Structured Outputs: Enhancing JSON Response Reliability
• A Bootiful Podcast: Spring Cloud Dataflow, Spring Cloud Task, and Spring Batch legend Glenn Renfro
• in last week's installment of Spring Tips, I looked at using Spring Boot and HTMX together
• I love this: a bunch of opensource projects are working on a common set of annotations to convey nullability and null-restricted types in Java
• I love this: IntelliJ IDEA has a new feature: multi-project workspaces…

OpenAI recently introduced a powerful feature called Structured Outputs, which ensures that AI-generated responses adhere strictly to a predefined JSON schema. This feature significantly improves the reliability and usability of AI-generated content in real-world applications. Today, we're excited to announce that Spring AI (1.0.0-SNAPSHOT) has fully integrated support for OpenAI's Structured Outputs, bringing this capability to Java developers in a seamless, Spring-native way.

Following diagram shows how the new Structured Outputs feature extends the OpenAI Chat API:

Note: Spring AI already provides a powerful, Model-agnostic Structured Output utilities that can be use with various AI models including the OpenAI. The OpenAI Structured Outputs feature offers an additional, consistent, but a model specific solution, currently available only to the gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini and later models.

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment we talk to observability legend Jonatan Ivanov about the latest and greatest in the wide and wonderful world of observability. (Turns out a library that's used by countless projects including and beyond the Spring ecosystem keeps quite busy!)

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment I have special guest Spring Security lead Rob Winch give us a master class in how the method security support works and some of its new features. Come for the security, stay for the incredible opportunity to look over a senior engineer's shoulders as he explains the nuances of API design!

Faster information processing not only informs - it transforms how we perceive and innovate.

Spring AI, a powerful framework for integrating AI capabilities into Spring applications, now offers support for Groq - a blazingly fast AI inference engine with support for Tool/Function calling.

Leveraging Groq's OpenAI-compatible API, Spring AI seamlessly integrates by adapting its existing OpenAI Chat client. This approach enables developers to harness Groq's high-performance models through the familiar Spring AI API.

We'll explore how to configure and use the Spring AI OpenAI chat client to connect with Groq. For detailed information, consult the Spring AI Groq documentation and related tests…
