This post is a follow-up of my earlier post related to JSR-107. Adding JSR-107 support gave us the opportunity to review our own and see how the two can live happily together. Spring 4.1 also contains a series of improvements reported by the community.

I am also happy to announce that a new getting started guide dedicated to the cache abstraction has been published, check Caching Data with Spring!

CacheResolver

One of the nicest features we found in JSR-107 was the ability to resolve the cache to use at runtime, that is based on the actual method execution. So far, our own support was relying on cache name(s) being specified at the annotation (or aspect definition) level. Several issues were raised to report that when more than one CacheManager…

Kailashnath Kutti has more than three years of hands-on work experience working on some of the largest Hadoop projects. For the SingaSUG (Singapore Spring User Group), Kailash puts side by side all the ways to do queries and scripts in Hadoop: MapReduce, Pig, Hive, SQL, Spring XD... You'll get a clear answer to questions such as: - Should you use MapReduce? - When to use Pig and Hive? Do they have limitations? - When to use Spring XD? Kailash is a presales engineer working for pivotal and based in Singapore.

Now that Spring for Apache Hadoop version 2.0 is GA I'd like use this opportunity to introduce our new Spring IO getting started guides for builing Hadoop YARN applications.

We have a generic guides how to work with Spring YARN using Gradle or Maven. Our guides are designed to work with both build systems.

• Building Spring YARN Projects with Gradle
• Building Spring YARN Projects with Maven

These two guides are demonstrating a familiar 'hello world' application type having a very minimalistic code base. Behaviour of these applications are identical having a difference in a project structure…

Is Spring the new legacy as quite a few people tell you on their blogs? I disagree on many levels. Throughout this session I will holistically detail without any polemics why I do recommend using the Spring Framework and its ecosystem. Aspects that will be covered include: operational impacts, ecosystem, coding and road maps. This presentation is aimed at IT managers, Architects and Developers alike.

Rich media and digital content are an integral part of nearly all Web and mobile applications today, but the growing number of platforms, changing business demands and time to market are a major concern. Join this session to learn modern practices for building content-enabled Web and mobile apps. We will uncover common challenges faced by content and application teams, explain how these problems are solved by simple, powerful tools and the right architecture. We'll also demonstrate how leading organizations such as AT&T, Marriott, and Harvard Business Publishing have succeeded by leveraging Spring Framework, Groovy and other leading Java development technologies along with content management frameworks to build and manage content rich applications.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring. This week has been an amazing week! I started it in Krakow, Poland, talking to developers at the wonderful 33rd Degree conference, then headed to Warsaw, Poland, where I presented at the amazing local Spring Labs user group. Tomorrow, it's off to London for Devoxx UK where I'll be helping spread the Spring Boot awesome. Then, Friday, it's off to Toronto where I'll be meeting with 4 customers and teams using Spring next week. What's this mean for you? Well, for one, if you're in London and Toronto, say hi! It also means that conference season is on in full force. We try to be wherever we're needed. What conferences (besides SpringOne2GX 2014, of course!) are you going to this year? I'd love to know which conferences you're doing this year. Help us prioritize, please. Thanks! (Twitter hashtag #twiSpring)

• Spring Boot 1.1's been released! It includes new support for GSP, Spring Social, Velocity, Freemarker, Spring Mobile, Spring HATEOAS, and much, much, more. LOTS of new autoconfiguration support too: GemFire, HornetQ, Elasticsearch, Solr, Spring Social, Spring Integration, Spring Mobile and Spring HATEOAS. Honestly, you might just be better off reading the blog and coming back. There's so much awesome there.
• Our CFSummit conference is being held right now in San Francisco! There's lots of amazing stuff around Cloud Foundry. I found more than a few press announcements, but here's one from eWeek on some of the new stuff in PCF 1.3.
• If you are not the the CloudFoundry Summit in San Francisco this week, you may have missed Matt Stine's amazing talk: Cloud Foundry and Microservices: A Mutualistic Symbiotic Relationship. You heard it here first: CloudFoundry and Spring Boot are going to make a killer combination for Microservices.
• In celebration of the Spring Boot release, the amazing Greg Turnquist is presenting Building your app management tools with Spring Boot on July 8th.
• Join Glenn Renfro as he takes you through Spring Integration 4.0's Boot/JavaConfig/Annotation driven experience in Spring Integration Done Boot-ifully on June 17th.
• Casey Doolittle and Phil Dutson present the ultimate e-commerce feature fire drill: Building a Shopping Cart in 24 Hours using Spring on July 15th
• Check out this replay of the talk from last year's SpringOne2GX 2013, SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Space Exploration: APIs for Secure Interconnected HTML5 Applications with Sencha Space
• The amazing Craig Walls gave a great talk on Spring Social last year at SpringOne2GX 2013, check it out! Spring Social 1.1 just dropped, after all. Now's a good time to catch up and get connected to the services your customers are.
• Greg Turnquist published a very nice blog on the process of contributing a Spring IO guide. Greg's also one of the main contributors to the guides, so if he approves, then you know it's good. Rock on, open source!
• Speaking of that new guide, you should check it out: it's about how to get started building a SOAP service with Spring WS. (Hey, it's still a thing for a lot of people, and Spring WS's new Java configuration-based endpoint model is very well suited to the task!)
• Ramnivas Laddad, one of the brains behind AspectJ, one of the architects behind Cloud Foundry, and our local cloud ninja, recently did a webinar on Spring Cloud, which makes it easy to consume PaaS-bound services in a clean, dependency-injection centric way: check it out!
• Manuel Jordan, an amazing member of our community (editor on a few of my books, winner of the Springy Award for his amazing contributions on the forum where he answered more questions than anyone, and all around nice guy) in Arequipa, Peru, put together an epic series of blogs introducing various parts of Spring. Check them out. Great job, Manuel!
• The softwarecave blog has a post on using Hibernate with Spring. I dig it, but would remind people that there's little to no reason to use XML anymore, and - even if there were a reason, there's little to no reason to write this sort of configuration anymore, at all. Just use Spring Boot. It's amazing what a difference an @EnableAutoConfiguration makes!
• The GeekAByte blog has a nice post on the various types of annotation-centric autowiring possible with Spring. Check it out!

We are pleased to announce that Spring for Apache Hadoop version 2.0 is now GA.

Providing support for Hadoop v2.0 and YARN while maintaining compatibility with Hadoop v1.0

It's been well over a year since Spring for Apache Hadoop 1.0 was released. Spring was part of VMware at that time. Spring for Apache Hadoop 1.0 supported Hadoop 1.0.4 and 1.1.1 but not the latest 2.0 alpha versions. A lot has changed since then. Spring is now part of Pivotal which brings us together with a great portfolio of open source technologies. The Apache Hadoop project has released several new versions of Hadoop…

The modern web is rich with APIs that can be consumed by other applications, enabling an integrated experience for the users who hold accounts on the websites that front those APIs. Many of these APIs are secured with OAuth, an authorization specification for securing REST APIs. Spring Social is an extension to the Spring Framework that enables Spring applications to establish connections with those APIs on behalf of their users with little or no need to muck about in the intricacies of OAuth. In this session, we'll explore how Spring Social brings API connectivity to Spring applications. We'll also uncover the newest features of Spring Social that make it easier than ever to link your application's users to the identities they maintain on various sites across the web.

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: Jason Cline

The proliferation of mobile devices poses challenges for corporate IT departments. End users want to choose their own device, but also want to access corporate web applications, but the need for security often means that they have to surrender management of their device to their IT department. With this in mind, we've created Sencha Space -- a secure and managed environment for deploying HTML5 business applications that run on multiple devices. During this session Jason Cline will discuss the Sencha Space SDK's device-level options for secure data storage, as well as show you how to implement the Invoke API to connect web applications with one another. You'll also experience how easily applications can be centrally managed without the need to access the device.
