SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Real World Applications with Spring Data Neo4j

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 11, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speaker: Michael Hunger

Spring Data Neo4j in its 2.x version is a mature implementation of an object graph mapping framework, that both closely integrates with the Spring Framework and also offers unique modeling and querying opportunities by having chosen the property graph data model. This talk presents how several Neo Technology customers already put Spring Data Neo4j into production. They stem from a variety of domains -- gaming, server center monitoring, education, appliance management, energy market simulation and more. Based on those use-cases we discuss how to implement real-world applications with Spring Data Neo4j and the Spring Framework. First we want to discuss the business problems they had to solve and why a graph database was a good fit for them. After a quick intro to Spring Data Neo4j and Neo4j, we will talk about modeling choices and the benefits and implications of choosing a rich data model. We'll follow the example domains into code, from annotated domain entities, to the usage of the powerful repository abstractions. Showing how to use Neo4jTemplate to implement some lower level functionality will round off the core library usage. Building on this, we look into the integration aspects, how Spring Data Neo4j can be combined with other Spring projects, like Spring Data MongoDB, Spring Data REST, and Spring Batch. A quick demonstration shows on how to access Spring Data Neo4j from the (Web)-UI layer. The talk will close of with a glimpse into the future: Neo4j added some very interesting features in its 2.0 release. From node labels, automatic indexes and constraints to a transactional http endpoint for Cypher. These changes make it possible to rethink some aspects of Spring Data Neo4j, like type representation and indexing. But also some bigger ideas for changes ahead like basing the object graph mapping completely on Neo4j's Cypher Graph Query Language will be touched.

SpringOne2GX Replay: AngularJS, Backbone.js and Client-Centric Design

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 11, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speakers: Jeremy Grelle, Mattias Niemela, Tim Branyen

As clients have become more capable, developers are revisiting the server-centric page rendering approach and moving the MVC layer, in part or sometimes in whole, onto the client. When building a rich front-end there are an increasing number of choices available. This talk will dive into two emerging choices that are taking the web by storm: AngularJS and Backbone.js. Leaders from both communities will provide an introduction to each technology followed by a round table discussing front-end technology, answering questions from the audience. Special guests from Sencha and cujoJS will join the panel for Q&A.

JSR-352, Spring Batch and You

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 03, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speaker: Michael Minella

JSR-352 is billed as bringing a standardized batch programming model to Java. What does the spec provide, what does it not, and what does it mean for Spring Batch applications? We will address all of these questions as well as provide insight into how Spring Batch will work with the JSR in a real world example.

Real life use of Spring Integration with RabbitMQ

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 03, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speaker: Durai Arasan

ETRADE has revamped their SOA platform with RabbitMQ as a core messaging system and Spring Integration as a light weight ESB layer with services written in Java, C and Python based languages. This new container show cases how legacy system can be migrated at the same time introducing more modern frameworks and languages without comprising on performance and scalability factor of new platform. Presentation will cover some history behind the requirements and how the platform was built. It will be followed by live demo with an example of running web services with RabbitMQ and Spring Integration. This platform highlights why RabbitMQ works best for such a need compare to other options.

Is it possible to decrease the turn-around time of your test suite? How can you make sure that your tests execute independently? Is it possible to automatically verify that the database schema is kept in sync with the source code? What are the trade-offs? In this presentation, you will learn how to apply features such as the Spring MVC Test Framework, Spring profiles, and embedded databases, to automate and improve your test suite, thus improving the overall quality of your project. A simplistic Spring web app will be used to show some practical code examples. Topics include:

  • Basic Spring Testing
  • Embedded Database
  • Transactions
  • Profiles
  • Controller Tests
  • Server Integration Tests

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Intro to WebSocket Applications with Spring Framework 4.0

News | Pieter Humphrey | January 21, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Rossen Stoyanchev

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Last year's Intro to WebSocket presentation was as much about introducing WebSocket -- including specs, browser availability, server support -- as it was about summarizing short and long term challenges surrounding its use and leaving many open questions. What a world of difference a year can make! This update to last year's presentation, covers the new standard Java WebSocket API (JSR-356) including a discussion of positives and limitations, an update on the current status of WebSocket support across Servlet containers, and of course the Spring Framework 4.0 WebSocket support -- how to configure and use it and what additional benefits it provides. A central part of this is Spring's support for SockJS, the protocol for transparent WebSocket fallback options for use in applications that for example need to run in IE 10 and eariler. This presentation is for you if you want a comprehensive introduction to WebSocket including standard Java EE 7 and Spring Framework 4.0 support. For a more practical take on how to actually build WebSocket-style applications that skips the introduction, please attend the next presentation Building WebSocket Browser Applications with Spring by Rossen Stoyanchev and Scott Andrews, or attend both presentations. They are intended to be complementary. Learn more about WebSocket in Spring Framework at: http://projects.spring.io/spring-framework
