Speaker: Danny Hyun With the advent of Ratpack and Spring Boot, people think you need to choose between one or the other. That couldn't be further from the truth. The only place where they overlap is in serving web requests. Spring Framework is a very rich ecosystem including but not limited to DI, web mvc, data, security, etc. Ratpack focuses on rapid web app prototyping and iteration balancing low resource utilization, high performance and developer friendliness. We'll explore the ways in which Ratpack and Spring Boot work in harmony.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Bruhl, Germany for the amazing JavaLand show, then it's off to Scotland to visit a large customer, and then it's off to Romania for Voxxed Days Bucharest. If you're in any of those places, I'd love to connect!

• Spring ninja Stephane Nicoll introduces some of the niceties in Spring framework 4.3
• Do not miss Micah Silverman's upcoming webinar introducing the amazing Stormpath and Spring/Spring Boot-based integration and Auto-configuration. Stormpath is an epic identity provider as-a-service. It's ideal for cloud-based applications.
• Spring IO Platform lead Andy Wilkinson just announced Spring IO Platform 2.0.3
• From SpringOne2GX 2015, Integration lead Gary Russell shows us how RabbitMQ powers Spring XD
• Thomas Risberg, also from SpringOne2GX 2015, shows us how simpler Hadoop workflows, and distribution portability make raw Hadoop much simpler for Spring developers. …

In this session we will discuss how Spring Integration and Spring AMQP are used as two of the underlying technologies in Spring XD.

The RabbitMQ message bus is used to dynamically create and bind queues and exchanges at runtime when modules are deployed. Items of particular interest include the provision of taps using fanout exchanges, use of the RabbitMQ REST API and spring-retry within the message bus…

The Hadoop ecosystem is getting bigger and more complex. Using multiple projects from this ecosystem, you will have to deal with the difference in philosophy and usage patterns that these project promote. The "Spring for Apache Hadoop" project uses many Spring projects like Data, Integration, Batch and Boot to resolve many of these issues. It simplifies developing for Apache Hadoop by providing a unified configuration model and…

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2015 Presenter: Petar Tahchiev Core Spring Track Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/boost-your-ecommerce-with-spring

What are the common pitfalls we need to be aware of when building an e-commerce application? How do we leverage Spring to tackle the complexity of the project and speed up the development time? How do we scale our spring application in order to support huge amounts of requests? Is it possible to bootstrap an e-commerce website in less than 5 minutes and deploy a production-ready instance to Cloud Foundry? What makes spring the perfect…

Spring Framework 4.3.RC1 is around the corner and brings nice core container refinements which we are going to explore in this post...

Implicit constructor injection for single-constructor scenarios

Consider the following service class:

@Service
public class FooService {

    private final FooRepository repository;

    @Autowired
    public FooService(FooRepository repository) {
        this.repository = repository
    }
}

Quite a common use case but if you forget the @Autowired annotation on the constructor, the container will throw an exception looking for a default constructor, unless you explicitly indicate autowire mode 'constructor' in your bean definition setup (e.g. in an XML <bean>…

Guest Speaker: Micah Silverman, Stormpath

In this presentation, Java Developer Evangelist Micah Silverman will go over common pain points with Java authentication and how to solve them using Stormpath, Spring Boot, and Spring Security!
