Spring for GraphQL 1.1.0-RC1 released

Releases | Brian Clozel | October 18, 2022 | ...

I'm pleased to announce that the first release candidate of Spring for GraphQL 1.1.0 is now available from our Milestone repository. This version will be shipped with Spring Boot 3.0.0-RC1 due for release later this week.

This release candidate is the last stop for shipping new features; from that point, we'll be focusing on bug fixes and documentation improvements. Our goal is to stabilize the current branch for our GA release scheduled next month.

With RC1, we're shipping our new Observability support in Spring for GraphQL. Based on the new Micrometer Observation work, this infrastructure replaces the former GraphQL Metrics support in Spring Boot 2.7. GraphQL is a good use case for Observability in general, as the GraphQL engine can distribute the data fetching operations over caches, databases, REST APIs and more. It's important not only to keep track of performance metrics for your GraphQL API, but also to…

Spring Web Services 4.0.0-RC1 is out!

Releases | Greg L. Turnquist | October 18, 2022 | ...

Greetings Spring community,

The Spring Web Services team has released 4.0.0-RC1. This is the last planned release candidate that supports Spring Boot 3.0. The final GA release is coming next month in anticipation of Spring Boot 3.0 going GA.

4.0.x is the generation of Spring Web Services that works with Jakarta EE 9, the version where the enterprise specs (JAX-WS, etc.) migrate from javax. to jakarta.. See Juergen Holler’s blog post for more details about that.

Being based upon Spring Framework 6.0, this is also the generation of Spring Web Services that is rebased on top of Java 17 (LTS). So…

This Week in Spring - October 18th, 2022

Engineering | Josh Long | October 18, 2022 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! How're you doin'? I'm doin' alright! Last week I was in Antwerp, Belgium, for the amazing Devoxx BE show. I did a presentation with my friend and hero James Ward on Spring and Kotlin (that was voted third most-liked talk at a show with more than 250 speakers!) That was a personal career highlight for me - it's not often you get to win and have fun in life. And, as if that wasn't awesome enough, this week I am in Las Vegas, NV, for JavaOne! Fingers crossed, this week will go smoothly, too! Both Devoxx and JavaOne are the first such shows since at least before the pandemic. It's…

Spring at JavaOne 2022

Engineering | Josh Long | October 16, 2022 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! It's Sunday the 16th of October as I write this and I'm winging my way to sunny Las Vegas, Nevada, where I'll be attending (and presenting at) the first JavaOne show in years! It didn't exist as the JavaOne we know and love for years, even before the pandemic interrupted life as we know it worldwide. So this isn't just the first JavaOne since 2019, it's the first JavaOne since 2017! I can't wait to be there, to see the amazing community, to soak up the sun and fun with my teammates and friends in the ecosystem. And we want to see you, too.

There are a few of us doing talks…

These are brand new generations of the framework, implying huge new paradigms and new opportunities for…

In this milestone release, the DefaultExecutionContextSerializer was updated to serialize/deserialize the context to/from Base64.

Moreover, the default ExecutionContextSerializer configured by @EnableBatchProcessing or DefaultBatchConfiguration was changed from JacksonExecutionContextStringSerializer to DefaultExecutionContextSerializer.
