It can be complicated learning the ins and outs of any technology stack. When this complexity is compounded by needing to understand how to secure our applications, it can be daunting.

In this talk we will discuss how to rapidly and correctly apply Spring Security to an existing application. Along the way we will demo security exploits and see how to mitigate them, answer frequently asked questions, and learn established best practices.

"It's with equal parts excitement and passion that I absolutely endorse Spring Boot in Action as the easy-to-digest and fun-to-read Spring Boot documentation the Java community has been waiting for. Craig's accessible writing style and sweeping analysis of Boot's core features and functionality will surely leave readers with a solid grasp of Boot (along with a joyful sense of awe for it)."

Speaker: Oliver Gierke Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/whats-new-in-spring-data-53300373 A year has passed and the Spring Data shipped two release train iterations packed with interesting features. This talk will give a broad overview of the most important introduced in the Fowler and Gosling release trains. We will cover recent additions and improvements in Spring Data Commons - the module that's shared amongst the store specific ones. We'll then delve into the latest and greatest features of individual store modules, like JPA, MongoDB and the community ones as well.

On behalf of the Spring Integration team I’m happy to announce the First Milestone of the Spring Integration 4.3 release.

4.3 is planned to be only a minor release with a few new features and improvements over 4.2 and will close out the 4.x line. Meanwhile we are looking forward to embrace the Reactive Foundation for the JVM in Spring Integration 5.0. We have yet to determine exactly what that means, so stay tuned! In addition, 5.0 (2017) will include the (currently separate) Spring Integration Java DSL.

We plan on finalizing 4.3 over the next few months before switching our attention full-time to 5.0 so, if there is some must have feature you need before next year…

We are pleased to announce the availability of the first milestone of the 1.6 version of Spring AMQP.

Some highlights of this release:

• A new jar spring-rabbit-test containing a test harness to help with testing @RabbitListener methods; see the testing chapter.

• Multiple @RabbitListener annotations on a method (when using Java 8) and the @RabbitListeners annotation (for pre-Java 8), each allowing the same method to be the listener method for multiple listener containers.

• Full support for the Delayed Message Exchange RabbitMQ plugin.

• An AsyncRabbitTemplate returning ListenableFuture<?> for request/reply messaging.

• An option to publish ApplicationEvents when listener containers go idle.

It's my pleasure to announce that the first milestone of Spring REST Docs 1.1 has been released. 1.1.0.M1 is available from https://repo.spring.io/milestone/.

What's new?

REST Assured

As an alternative to the lightweight server-less documentation generation offered by Spring Framework's MockMvc, you can now use REST Assured to test and document your RESTful services. This opens up Spring REST Docs to all four corners of the JVM and beyond, allowing you to document anything that you can access via HTTP.

Markdown

Support has been added for generating Markdown snippets. On its own, Markdown isn't as capable as Asciidoctor, but can work very well when combined with existing documentation toolchains such as Slate…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's been a busy week for all of us on the Spring team, as you're about to see!

If you're in the area, be sure to ping me and say hi!

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

How is the open source you use published actually managed? What techniques and tools do successful open source projects use? How are open source projects able to lever the community that they build? This talk will take you behind the scenes of the Spring Framework to show you how we manage code, issues and releases. We'll talk about the tools that we use, how we keep code clean and consistent, and how we use…

Only 2 years after its inception, Spring Boot is already very popular amongst Spring developers. If you’re familiar with Spring MVC, you may wonder how Spring Boot can improve your web development experience and how its internals work.

First we’ll go over the basics of a REST service powered by Boot. We’ll then gradually add more features that are typical to modern web applications. Along the way, we’ll see how Boot…
