This Week in Spring - 30 October, 2012

Engineering | Josh Long | October 31, 2012 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring!

  1. Spring Data GemFire 1.2.1 and GemFire 7.0 have been released! The new Spring Data release includes complete Spring XML namespace support for configuration of all GemFire resources, eliminating the need for GemFire's native cache XML (cache XML is also supported), and Spring Data Repositories for GemFire. Also of note, the GemFire shell (gfsh) was built with Spring Shell. For more on the GemFire 7.0 release, be sure to check out the post which in turn links to release notes and documentation.

Spring MVC: from JSP and Tiles to Thymeleaf

Engineering | Michael Isvy | October 30, 2012 | ...

When it comes to the view layer, Spring @MVC gives you a variety of choices. In this article, we will first discuss the way you have most likely used the view layer in the past few years: JSP. We will see the bad and better ways to work with them (plain JSP, JSP with custom tags, Apache Tiles).

We will then discuss a new project called Thymeleaf, which you can use as an alternate approach to JSP.

As usual, you can find all the code samples discussed in the corresponding application on github.

Plain JSP

Let us get started with the below code sample: 

<html …> <body>
 <div style="padding-top: 50px;">
   <jsp:include page="../menu.jspx"/>

This is being released concurrently with GemFire 7.0, adding Spring XML namespace support for the new WAN APIs introduced in GemFire 7.0.With this release of GemFire, Spring Data GemFire now enjoys  "first class citizen" status within the GemFire ecosystem and is prominently featured in GemFire's developer pages and documentation

About Spring Data GemFire

Spring's goal has always been to make developers more productive, in part, by providing simple and flexible ways to enable enterprise integration and data access. For Java developers writing applications to work with GemFire, Spring Data GemFire leverages Spring's powerful and familiar programming model to achieve this goal. Even those new to the Spring Framework will find that Spring Data GemFire is the easiest way to configure and access the GemFire Data Grid.

Visit the Spring Data GemFire Project Home Page for more details.

This Week in Spring - 16 October, 2012

Engineering | Josh Long | October 17, 2012 | ...

Welcome to This Week in Spring, SpringOne2GX 2012 edition! I'm putting this together from day 2 of the SpringOne2GX conference in Washington D.C.!

Last night, we kicked off the event with a great keynote by Juergen Hoeller (pictured above), Dr. Mark Pollack, Graeme Rocher, and Adrian Colyer, some amazing break dancing by international dancer Agame, and a mysterious kangaroo (see below)!

This is the premier event for JVM developers, featuring great speakers from VMWare, SpringSource, TypeSafe, Neo4j, and many others speaking on all manner of topics. The week is just kicking off. While the conference is running, there's also going to be a contest to find the best applications built using SpringSource technologies (Spring, Grails) and deployed to Cloud Foundry. I've seen the prizes (above), and I would enter too if I could! 

<P> If you're at the show, be sure to stop by the SpringSource and Cloud Foundry booths in the expo hall and pick up shwag and answers to your lingering questions. I'll be there tomorrow, in the evening.</p><P> Anyway, I won't linger <EM>too</EM> much on what you're missing! Let's move on to this week's roundup because, as usual, there's a lot to cover! </p>
