News & Events

What a crazy week! JavaOne is underway, and the SpringSource / CloudFoundry booth has been the hub of activity on the showroom floor. To all those who we've talked to, the relevant links include the open source code for CloudFoundry, the SpringSource blog, and of course the blog introducing the MicroCloud Foundry for Spring Developers and, generally, the Youtube SpringSource channel.

Lots of content, so let's get to it!

• Did you miss last week's excellent webinar by Craig Walls, lead of the Spring Social project? We rushed the webinar video through production and have it available for you to watch on SpringSource's Youtube channel.
• A new video by Ben Corrie introduces the challenges of memory management with virtualization and Java, along with an introduction to the answer. Apparently this is the first in a series of presentations on this topic so I'm really looking forward to learning more.
• The new Apache Tomcat 7.0.22 release includes bug fixes and new features compared to version 7.0.21 including:
  • Further improvements to the memory leak detection and prevention features.
  • Fix issue that prevented using SSL with the HTTP BIO connector and Java 7
  • Add support for controlling which session attributes are replicated when using session replication (a.k.a clustering).
• John Ferguson blogs about using Spring dependencies in your acceptance tests with Thucydides. From the article, "Spring provides excellent support for integration tests, via the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner test runner. Unfortunately, if you are using Thucydides, this is not an option, as a test cannot have two runners at the same time. Fortunately, however, there is a solution!"
• Roger Hughes takes a look at using Spring Interceptors in your Spring MVC web application.
• Bozhidar Bozhanov introduces a solution to Hibernate listeners that are managed by Spring.
• This blog post by Alex Soto introduces the claim-check pattern with Spring Integration and MongoDB. Good stuff!
• Ashish Sarin, author of the Spring Roo 1.1 Cookbook from PAKT, talks about tips for how to get the most out of the Spring Roo development tool.
• Ashish Sarin also introduces how to do Spring MVC scaffolding with Spring Roo.
