    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Spring Data Release &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/09/09/spring-data-release-train-evans-goes-ga"&gt;Evans&lt;/a&gt; has been around for a while and it's more than time to finally introduce you to the latest and greatest features we shipped with it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There's a lot to cover since major enhancements have gone into the commons module. Those changes already have made it into some store modules and will go on and sneak their way into others over time, too. All of them are already available for at least &lt;a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-data-jpa/"&gt;Spring Data JPA&lt;/a&gt;. That said, lets jump right in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-advanced-support-for-java-8" class="anchor" href="#advanced-support-for-java-8" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Advanced support for Java 8&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Java8 has now been around for a while and previous Spring Data release trains already added fundamental support for some of those. With the Evans release train we extended the support significantly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Java 8's &lt;a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Optional.html"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Optional&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has been a supported return since the &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/05/21/what-s-new-in-spring-data-dijkstra"&gt;Dijkstra release&lt;/a&gt; freeing you of having &lt;code&gt;null&lt;/code&gt; checks spread across your code. We simply wrap and unwrap values for you when used as return types with repositories.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As of the Evans release &lt;a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/defaultmethods.html"&gt;default methods&lt;/a&gt; can be used in repository interfaces to e.g. forward parts of the parameters handed into the method to other query methods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;interface&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;PersonRepository&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kd"&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Repository&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Person&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Long&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="n"&gt;Optional&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Customer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findByLastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;lastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="k"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Optional&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Customer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findByLastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Customer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;customer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findByLastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;customer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;==&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kc"&gt;null&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kc"&gt;null&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;customer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;getLastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;());&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-enhanced-multi-store-support" class="anchor" href="#enhanced-multi-store-support" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Enhanced multi-store support&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Configuring your application to make use of different Spring Data modules has not been without issues so far. E.g. you  might want to combine JPA and MongoDB where &lt;code&gt;Customer&lt;/code&gt; happens to be a JPA Entity while &lt;code&gt;Order&lt;/code&gt; is a MongoDB Document both persisted via according repository interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Entity&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;Customer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Id&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@GeneratedValue&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Long&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;id&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;firstname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;lastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// ...&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Document&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;Order&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Id&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;id&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="n"&gt;Long&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;customerId&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="n"&gt;Date&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;orderDate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// ...&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kd"&gt;interface&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;CustomerRepository&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kd"&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;CrudRepository&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Customer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Long&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{}&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kd"&gt;interface&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;OrderRepository&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kd"&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;CrudRepository&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Order&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Until the Spring Data Evans release you had to manually configure the repository setup for MongoDB and JPA to mutually exclude the interfaces not relevant for the given store. Users usually used separate packages for that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now the repository setup detects that multiple Spring Data modules are on the classpath,  and automatically restricts the repository scanning and inspect the domain type used by a given repository for store specific annotations such as &lt;code&gt;@Entity&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;@Document&lt;/code&gt; to determine the concrete implementation they belong to. E.g. the Spring Data MongoDB module would drop the (accidentally) detected &lt;code&gt;CustomerRepository&lt;/code&gt; as we don't find an &lt;code&gt;@Document&lt;/code&gt; annotation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-statically-limiting-results" class="anchor" href="#statically-limiting-results" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Statically limiting results&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dynamically limiting results is no new concept since Spring Data has had &lt;code&gt;Pagable&lt;/code&gt; as abstraction since its inception and I bet nearly every Spring Data user is already familiar with something like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;List&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Person&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findByLastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;lastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Pageable&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This method declaration provides quite some flexibility: clients define the page number, size and a sort order of the elements they want to access. This is great if these values change dynamically (e.g. when you traverse the result set page by page).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But what if you're always only interested in e.g. the first 10 results and you always want them to be ordered by lastname? This could've been achieved by statically defining a &lt;code&gt;PageRequest&lt;/code&gt; and reusing that for every method invocation. However, that still required the client to hand in the special &lt;code&gt;PageRequest&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As of Spring Data Evans we now offer you a convenient way to explicitly limit the result set to a certain number of elements by using the keywords &lt;code&gt;top&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;first&lt;/code&gt; followed by an optional positive numeric value (defaulting to 1).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;List&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Person&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findTop10ByLastnameOrderByFirstnameDesc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;lastname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-mongodb-full-text-search" class="anchor" href="#mongodb-full-text-search" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;MongoDB Full Text Search&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Evans RC1 release introduced basic &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/07/17/text-search-your-documents-with-spring-data-mongodb"&gt;text index support&lt;/a&gt; for MongoDB 2.6. Using &lt;code&gt;@TextIndexed&lt;/code&gt; allows you to mark properties you want to have text search enabled for so that we can go on and create the index for you. Note, that placing &lt;code&gt;@TextIndexed&lt;/code&gt; on properties referring to complex types will index all properties of that type. Since scoring is a fundamental part of full text search the &lt;code&gt;@TextScore&lt;/code&gt; annotation will assert that any full text query returns the documents score allowing you to order them by relevance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Document&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;BlogPost&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Id&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;id&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@TextIndexed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;weight&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;title&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@TextIndexed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;weight&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;content&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@TextIndexed&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;List&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;categories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@TextScore&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Float&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;score&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That in place, we extended the repository support to accept a &lt;code&gt;TextCriteria&lt;/code&gt; instance that will define detailed options about the text search that shall be executed: the terms to be searched for, language options etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;interface&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;BlogPostRepository&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kd"&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;CrudRepository&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;BlogPost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class="n"&gt;Page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;BlogPost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findBy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;TextCriteria&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;criteria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;Pageable&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class="n"&gt;List&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;BlogPost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findAllByOrderByScoreDesc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;TextCriteria&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;criteria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first query method is quite straight forward. It executes the given &lt;code&gt;TextCriteria&lt;/code&gt; and pages the results. The second query method definition combines the given &lt;code&gt;TextCriteria&lt;/code&gt; with a standard criteria definition derived from the method name. This shows that you can freely combine text search with standard query easily.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-mongodb-query-modifiers" class="anchor" href="#mongodb-query-modifiers" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;MongoDB query modifiers&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We added &lt;code&gt;@Meta&lt;/code&gt; allowing you to define output and behavior of a query. By setting e.g. &lt;code&gt;maxExecutionTime&lt;/code&gt; one can define the maximum duration a query may take (in milliseconds). Any execution that exceeds the limit will result in an error. You can also advice MongoDB to only scan through a maximum number of documents and return what has been found until reaching the limit by setting &lt;code&gt;maxScanDocuments&lt;/code&gt;, while &lt;code&gt;comment&lt;/code&gt; allows you to define text you can search for within the &lt;code&gt;system.profile&lt;/code&gt; collection in case you got profiling enabled for your MongoDB instance. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Meta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;maxExcecutionTime&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;comment&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s"&gt;"onlyLimitedTime"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="n"&gt;List&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Customer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;findByFirstname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;firstname&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-configuration-options-for-redis-sentinel" class="anchor" href="#configuration-options-for-redis-sentinel" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Configuration options for Redis Sentinel&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Redis 2.8 introduced high-availability support know as &lt;a href="http://redis.io/topics/sentinel"&gt;Sentinels&lt;/a&gt;. The Redis module of Spring Data Evans adds support to easily configure connecting to a sentinel setup so that your client will be able to continue working in case of re-elections of master nodes in a Redis cluster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;RedisSentinelConfiguration&lt;/code&gt; defines where the Sentiels are located so that the &lt;code&gt;ConnectionFactory&lt;/code&gt; can set up pooling accordingly. In case of Jedis it will create a &lt;code&gt;JedisSentinelPool&lt;/code&gt; for automatic failover. This means that in case your master node goes down, you'll receive, as soon as the Sentinels agreed on a new master,  a connection to the new master without the need of any further interaction. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Configuration&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;RedisSentinelApplicationConfig&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Bean&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="n"&gt;RedisConnectionFactory&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;connectionFactory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;JedisConnectionFactory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;sentinelConfig&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;());&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Bean&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="n"&gt;RedisSentinelConfiguration&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;sentinelConfig&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;RedisSentinelConfiguration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;master&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"mymaster"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class="o"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;sentinel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"localhost"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;26379&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class="o"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;sentinel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"localhost"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;26380&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class="o"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;sentinel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"localhost"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;26381&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The upcoming Spring Boot 1.2, will even take this even further by automatically picking up the &lt;code&gt;RedisSentinelConfiguration&lt;/code&gt; if present and initialize the &lt;code&gt;RedisConnectionFactory&lt;/code&gt; accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-schema-support-for-solr" class="anchor" href="#schema-support-for-solr" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Schema support for Solr&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although the &lt;a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Schema+API"&gt;Solr Schema API&lt;/a&gt; is not finished yet, we already try to support as much of it as possible. With the Evans release you can now dynamically add missing fields to an existing (managed) schema. To achieve this, we read the existing field definition and compare it against the one derived from the properties of the domain type. To do so we extended the &lt;code&gt;@Indexed&lt;/code&gt; annotation a bit. It now allows some fine tuning of the fields to be created as values such as &lt;code&gt;indexed&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;stored&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;solrType&lt;/code&gt; can be explicitly defined.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-java"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Configuration&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@EnableSolrRepositories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;schemaCreationSupport&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kc"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;SolrConfiguration&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class="nd"&gt;@Bean&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="n"&gt;SolrServer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;solrServer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;HttpSolrServer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"http://localhost:8983/solr"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Welcome to another installment of &lt;em&gt;This Week in Spring&lt;/em&gt;! This week I've been at Silicon Valley Code Camp, JAX London and Geekout UK talking to developers about how to build scalable, microservice-centric &lt;a href="http://start.spring.io"&gt;Spring Boot&lt;/a&gt; applications on &lt;a href="http://cloudfoundry.org/index.html"&gt;Cloud Foundry&lt;/a&gt;. It's been a lot fun talking to enthusiastic developers (on both sides of the Atlantic!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without further ado, let's get on with the roundup!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spring Boot co-lead Phil Webb just announced the availability of &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/11/spring-boot-1-2-0-m2-available-now"&gt;Spring Boot 1.2.0.M2&lt;/a&gt; which includes, among other things, auto-configuration for Jersey, log4j, &lt;code&gt;commons-dbcp&lt;/code&gt; support, a smarter &lt;em&gt;disk usage&lt;/em&gt; health indicator and improved RabbitMQ support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spring and Groovy Tool Suite lead Martin Lippert &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/13/spring-tool-suite-and-groovy-grails-tool-suite-3-6-2-released"&gt;has just announced the latest and greatest release, 3.6.2&lt;/a&gt;, which is a maintenance release that includes an update to the latest Eclipse Luna SR1 installation. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also, Spring Boot co-lead &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/11/spring-boot-1-1-8-released"&gt;Phil Webb just announced the 1.1.8 release of the 1.1x line of Spring Boot&lt;/a&gt; which includes a fix for the white-label error page cross-site scripting attack. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Federated security is an important part of any distributed, multi-client, (micro)service-oriented system. Spring Security and Spring Security OAuth, in particular, provide a compelling solution. Join the good Dr. Dave Syer for this &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/01/webinar-security-for-microservices-with-spring-and-oauth2"&gt;upcoming webinar on microservice security using OAuth2&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Matt Stine will be doing a webinar introducing &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/01/webinar-architecting-for-continuous-delivery-microservices-with-pivotal-cf-and-spring-cloud"&gt;how Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring Cloud make for a natural solution to building microservices&lt;/a&gt;. Don't miss this one!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Atlanta, GA, USA Tuesday Oct 21, Learn about Spring, Microservices, and Cloud Foundry at a &lt;a href="http://www.pivotal.io/platform-as-a-service/cloud-platform-roadshow/atlanta#cities"&gt;one day roadshow event&lt;/a&gt; at Cox communications.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Munich, Germany, GA, Thursday Oct 23, Learn about Spring, Microservices, and Cloud Foundry at a &lt;a href="http://www.pivotal.io/platform-as-a-service/cloud-platform-roadshow/munich"&gt;one day roadshow event&lt;/a&gt; at EMC's office in Ismaning, Germany. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I hope you'll join the Vaadin team and I on October 23rd for a &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/10/01/webinar-building-bootful-uis-with-spring-boot-and-vaadin"&gt;look how to build Spring Boot-powered Vaadin applications&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Java et Moi&lt;/em&gt; blog has a nice (French language) post &lt;a href="http://javaetmoi.com/2014/10/annotation-sessionattributes-modelattribute-spring-mvc/"&gt;on  using Spring MVC's &lt;code&gt;@SessionAttribute&lt;/code&gt; annotation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; enjoyed this &lt;a href="http://altfatterz.blogspot.com/2014/10/software-configuration-with-spring-boot.html"&gt;very thorough look at contributing configuration property values&lt;/a&gt; to a Spring Boot application (as &lt;code&gt;--D&lt;/code&gt; arguments, environment variables, values in a property file, and values inside of JNDI)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sudhir Dharmadhikari   has done a &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://iwaow.blogspot.com/2014/10/jhipster-super-baby-in-springroos-pouch.html"&gt;nice job introducing the &lt;code&gt;yeoman&lt;/code&gt; code-generator based JHipster&lt;/a&gt;, which builds on top of &lt;a href="http://spring.io/projects/spring-boot"&gt;Spring Boot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our pal Miroslav Kopecky is back, this &lt;a href="http://java.dzone.com/articles/scala-4-spring-mvc-without-0"&gt;time with a nice post on using Spring MVC (in Spring 4) using Java configuration&lt;/a&gt; (through Scala!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="http://antirez.com/news/79"&gt;Redis Cluster is no longer vaporware&lt;/a&gt;! Check out the details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Biju Kunjummen has put together &lt;a href="http://java.dzone.com/articles/spring-configuration-and"&gt;a very nice post on  the two styles of Java configuration&lt;/a&gt;: one where you declare dependencies as parameters to the &lt;code&gt;@Bean&lt;/code&gt;-annotated bean definition method, and one where you simply reference the other bean by calling a method.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Check out this post by Daniel Murygin which includes  a detailed walk-through &lt;a href="http://murygin.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/rest-web-service-file-uploads-spring-boot/"&gt;on building a fairly non-trivial REST service (that even handles file-uploads!) and client application using Spring Boot&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Dear Spring Community,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am happy to announce the new release of our Eclipse-based tooling today:
The Spring Tool Suite (STS) 3.6.2 and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) 3.6.2.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a maintenance release that updates STS/GGTS to the just released Eclipse Luna SR1 release. This includes a number of fixes across the various projects that are included in the STS distribution, together with fixes for the Java8 compiler and tooling in Eclipse.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To download the distributions, please go visit:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spring Tool Suite: &lt;a href="https://spring.io/tools/sts/all"&gt;https://spring.io/tools/sts/all&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Groovy/Grails Tool Suite: &lt;a href="https://spring.io/tools/ggts/all"&gt;https://spring.io/tools/ggts/all&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Detailed new and noteworthy notes can be found here: &lt;a href="http://docs.spring.io/sts/nan/v362/NewAndNoteworthy.html"&gt;STS/GGTS 3.6.2 New &amp;amp; Noteworthy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NOTE:
Both tool suites ship on top of the latest Eclipse Luna 4.4 SR1 release as 64bit and 32bit based zip files only. There will be no native installers for STS/GGTS anymore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since the 3.6.0 release we shifted towards a slightly changed release schedule, shipping minor releases more frequently. Therefore 3.6.3 is scheduled to ship in December, followed by 3.6.4 in early March 2015, shortly after the Eclipse Luna SR2 release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Welcome to another installment of &lt;em&gt;This Week in Spring&lt;/em&gt;!  This week, I've been at the Couchbase Connect conference talking to developers about Spring Data Couchbase (and Spring Boot, Spring XD, Spring Session, and more..). Fun show, fun crowd! Next week, I'll be at &lt;a href="http://jaxlondon.com/2014/speakers/josh-long"&gt;JAX London&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://uk.geekout.ee/speakers/josh-long/"&gt;Geekout UK&lt;/a&gt;, so be sure to say hi if you're around. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, with that, let's get on to the roundup..&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The good Dr. Pollack just announced &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/10/02/spring-xd-1-0-1-released"&gt;the 1.0.1 release of Spring XD&lt;/a&gt;, the easiest way to build data-integration and ingestion solutions. It may be only a 1.0.1 release, but make no mistake: there are some very cool features in this release, including improved administrative and administrative UI features. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Federated security is an important part of any distributed, multi-client, (micro)service-oriented system. Spring Security and Spring Security OAuth, in particular, provide a compelling solution. Join the good Dr. Dave Syer for this &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/01/webinar-security-for-microservices-with-spring-and-oauth2"&gt;upcoming webinar on microservice security using OAuth2&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Matt Stine will be doing a webinar introducing &lt;a href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/01/webinar-architecting-for-continuous-delivery-microservices-with-pivotal-cf-and-spring-cloud"&gt;how Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring Cloud make for a natural solution to building microservices&lt;/a&gt;. Don't miss this one!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Spring and JavaScript ninja  Brian Cavalier has written a &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt;  interesting post on some of &lt;a href="http://github.com/spring-projects/spring-sync/"&gt;the work&lt;/a&gt; we're doing towards enabling &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/10/08/streaming-json-patch-from-spring-to-a-react-ui"&gt;easier differential sync between JavaScript clients and services&lt;/a&gt;. This post not only introduces all these exciting new stuff, but also builds on RaveJS, the Spring Boot-inspired approach to JavaScript.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I hope you'll join the Vaadin team and I on October 23rd for a &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/10/01/webinar-building-bootful-uis-with-spring-boot-and-vaadin"&gt;look how to build Spring Boot-powered Vaadin applications&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Justin Lee Grant has put together &lt;a href="http://www.justinleegrant.com/?p=489"&gt;a good introductory look at Spring Boot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spring lead Juergen Hoeller just &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/10/01/spring-framework-4-1-1-released"&gt;announced the 4.1.1  release of Spring framework&lt;/a&gt;. This release includes improved &lt;code&gt;Optional&lt;/code&gt; handling, a Jackson &lt;code&gt;ObjectMapper&lt;/code&gt; builder, some requested JDBC improvements, and much more. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The good Dr. Syer just announced &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/10/07/spring-cloud-1-0-0-m1-available-now"&gt;the first milestone release of the Spring Cloud project&lt;/a&gt;. Spring Cloud provides primatives for building microservice and PaaS-centric applications. It builds on top of the Netflix OSS stack and Spring Boot.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Karthik Abram put together &lt;a href="http://www.eclecticlogic.com/2014/09/01/classpath-scanning/"&gt;a nice post on a hidden gem in Spring: the &lt;code&gt;ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; class, which makes it easy to discover beans of a certain type. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nicolas Lejeune has written up a fascinating look at how he managed &lt;a href="http://labs.bsb.com/2014/09/turn-a-legacy-app-into-a-cf-service/"&gt;to convert a legacy application (it uses EJB3) and move it to a Cloud Foundry environment&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our pal Toshiaki Maki put together &lt;a href="http://github.com/making/spring-boot-blank"&gt;his ideal Spring Boot Maven archetype&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/making/status/519626091934134272"&gt;shared it&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;We're exploring ways to help developers create rich, modern front-ends that integrate easily with Spring back-ends.  If you attended SpringOne this year, you've already seen some of the things we've been working on:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://speakerdeck.com/gregturn/springone2gx-2014-spring-data-rest-data-meets-hypermedia"&gt;Hypermedia support in Spring Data REST&lt;/a&gt; presented by Greg Turnquist, Oliver Gierke, and Roy Clarkson&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/unscriptable/rave-js-springone-2gx-2014"&gt;RaveJS: Spring Boot concepts for JavaScript applications&lt;/a&gt; by John Hann&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/briancavalier/differential-sync-and-json-patch-s2-gx-2014"&gt;Differential Synchronization and JSON Patch&lt;/a&gt; by Craig Walls and me&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;In short, We want to make it easy to communicate efficiently between a Spring back-end and a client and to easily integrate the best and most popular client-side technologies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-react--streaming-updates" class="anchor" href="#react--streaming-updates" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;React + streaming updates&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JSON Patch is a format for sending incremental changes to structured data.  I thought it would be interesting to try streaming updates in JSON Patch format via STOMP all the way out to a web UI.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Craig Walls had already built a simple &lt;a href="https://github.com/habuma/scores"&gt;football scores proof of concept&lt;/a&gt;, using the new &lt;a href="https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-sync/"&gt;Spring Sync&lt;/a&gt; project to push score updates to a browser using JSON Patch over STOMP.  I was able to take his POC, drop in RaveJS, add client-side reactive streams, and integrate the updates into a &lt;a href="http://facebook.github.io/react/"&gt;React&lt;/a&gt; UI component.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can find the &lt;a href="https://github.com/briancavalier/scores"&gt;complete code on github in my rave-most-react branch&lt;/a&gt;.  The server is unchanged from Craig's original version.  The &lt;a href="https://github.com/briancavalier/scores/tree/rave-most-react/src/main/resources/public"&gt;web client&lt;/a&gt; is where the action is.  Have a look at the &lt;a href="https://github.com/briancavalier/scores/blob/rave-most-react/src/main/resources/public/main.js"&gt;main.js to get an overall sense of the app&lt;/a&gt; before we dive into some specifics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-starting-out" class="anchor" href="#starting-out" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Starting out&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I used &lt;a href="https://github.com/RaveJS/rave"&gt;RaveJS&lt;/a&gt; and npm to manage my client side dependencies, so my startup was simple:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-sh"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;span class="nb"&gt;cd &lt;/span&gt;src/main/resources/public

&amp;gt; npm init

&amp;lt;answer a few questions&amp;gt;

&amp;gt; npm install --save rave most jiff react rave-load-jsx rave-node-process stompjs
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then I just needed a single script tag in the existing HTML, and I was off to coding!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-html"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;lt;script &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;src=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"node_modules/rave/rave.js"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/script&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-introducing-mostjs" class="anchor" href="#introducing-mostjs" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Introducing most.js&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks to Craig, I already had a stream of updates (in JSON Patch format) flowing to the client over STOMP.  I decided that the nicest way to work with the stream of patches would be to (surprise!) &lt;em&gt;actually use a stream&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://github.com/cujojs/most"&gt;Most.js&lt;/a&gt; is cujoJS's new JavaScript reactive streams package.  It provides a small, but powerful set of APIs for creating, transforming, and consuming event streams.  I used it to wrap up the stompjs API.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It turns out that there were two STOMP subscriptions: one that carried an initial, complete copy of all the score data, and another that carried all the subsequent changes.  I was able to wrap both subscriptions up into a single reactive stream representing "the latest set of scores" by using &lt;a href="https://github.com/cujojs/jiff"&gt;jiff.js&lt;/a&gt; to apply the JSON Patches as they arrived.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This bit of code creates a stream from a STOMP subscription to the initial data, takes the first event (a complete snapshot of all scores), and combines it with a second stream containing only JSON Patch updates to produce a view of the scores that changes over time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-js"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;function&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;getScoresStream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;initDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;updateDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Create a stream containing one full copy of the data, and&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// flatMap that to a stream containing the time-varying&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// current set of scores, by accumulating each patch&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// and emitting the updated scores data.&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;getInitialDataStream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;initDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;flatMap&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;function&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;getUpdatesStream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;updateDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="p"&gt;});&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kd"&gt;function&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;getInitialDataStream&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;initDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Await a copy of the data from the STOMP subscription&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// that is sending the full scores data, then unsubscribe.&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;streamFromStompJson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;initDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;take&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kd"&gt;function&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;getUpdatesStream&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;updateDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Incrementally accumulate patches from the STOMP subscription&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// that is carrying JSON Patches onto the scores data to produce&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// an updated view of the scores.&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="k"&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;streamFromStompJson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;updateDestination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;startWith&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;([])&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;scan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;updateWithJsonPatch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most.js also automatically cleans up underlying resources when streams end.  It was easy to arrange to unsubscribe from the first subscription after an initial copy of the full scores data had arrived, leaving only one subscription: the changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-making-the-ui-with-react" class="anchor" href="#making-the-ui-with-react" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Making the UI with React&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now that I had a single most.js stream representing the latest scores, I created a &lt;a href="https://github.com/briancavalier/scores/blob/rave-most-react/src/main/resources/public/Scoreboard.jsx"&gt;React component to display them&lt;/a&gt;.  I installed (see above) the &lt;a href="https://github.com/KidkArolis/rave-load-jsx"&gt;rave-load-jsx extension&lt;/a&gt;, a RaveJS extension created by a community member, which enables direct JSX component loading in RaveJS.  All I had to do was create a Scoreboard.jsx file and start coding a simple React scoreboard component.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;React components have an internal &lt;code&gt;state&lt;/code&gt; object containing the data that will be used to render the component.  All I needed to do was pass the latest scores stream when creating the component, and then have the component observe the stream and update its &lt;code&gt;state&lt;/code&gt;.  The relevant bit of code is only a couple lines:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-js"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// this.props.scores is the scores stream provided when the&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Scoreboard component is created&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="k"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;props&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;scores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;observe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;function&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;scores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nx"&gt;self&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;setState&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;({&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;scores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;scores&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;});&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="p"&gt;});&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;React took care of automatically keeping the DOM in sync with the &lt;code&gt;state&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;a name="user-content-from-bits-to-pixels" class="anchor" href="#from-bits-to-pixels" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="octicon octicon-link"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;From bits to pixels&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is admittedly a toy app.  However, it shows quite a few powerful concepts working together in a very small space, with very little code: small, server-generated deltas flowing over STOMP + WebSocket, to a reactive stream on the client being observed by a React component.  Changes are flowing from a Spring back-end through to the UI--bits to pixels, as it were.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I hope this tiny app also provides a glimpse at the direction we're headed.  We want to provide tools and client-side packages that help developers build rich, modern client applications that integrate with leading client-side technologies and Spring back-ends.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>Spring Cloud 1.0.0.M1 Available Now</title>
    <link rel="alternate" href="https://spring.io/blog/2014/10/07/spring-cloud-1-0-0-m1-available-now" />

    <id>tag:spring.io,2014-10-07:1781</id>
    <updated>2014-10-07T13:25:00Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud"&gt;Spring Cloud&lt;/a&gt; (the new umbrella project announced in September) has reached a milestone, its first, and fresh jars are available in the &lt;a href="http://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone-local"&gt;repo.spring.io&lt;/a&gt; repository. Spring Cloud is going to follow a "release train" model for releases, a bit like Spring Data, but we haven't got a cool name for this one yet, so it's just 1.0.0.M1. The modules that are part of this release are &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spring Cloud Config: Centralized external configuration management backed by a git repository. The configuration resources map directly to Spring &lt;code&gt;Environment&lt;/code&gt; but could be used by non-Spring applications if desired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spring Cloud Netflix: Integration with various Netflix OSS components (Eureka, Hystrix, Zuul, Archaius, etc.).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spring Cloud Bus: An event bus for linking services and service instances together with distributed messaging. Useful for propagating state changes across a cluster (e.g. config change events).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spring Cloud Security: A set of primitives for building secure applications and services with minimum fuss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spring Cloud CLI: Spring Boot CLI plugin for creating Spring Cloud component applications quickly in Groovy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spring Cloud Starters: Spring Boot-style starter projects to ease dependency management for consumers of Spring Cloud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;All of the above have the 1.0.0.M1 release tag, so a good starting point to try it out  would be to &lt;a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/spring-cloud.html#_installation"&gt;install the CLI&lt;/a&gt; and run Config Server with this code:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight highlight-groovy"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="nd"&gt;@EnableConfigServer&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;ConfigServer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;then hit &lt;code&gt;http://localhost:8080/foo/default&lt;/code&gt; to see some property sources.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud"&gt;code&lt;/a&gt; is hosted on github, and community contributions are extremely welcome, so get on over there are check it out. There are some neat samples in a separate organization: &lt;a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples"&gt;spring-cloud-samples&lt;/a&gt;, including a "scripts" project that has git submodules and scripts to get a complete demo system up and running as quickly as possible.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Dear Spring community,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 4.1.1 is available now. As the &lt;b&gt;first maintenance release in the 4.1 line&lt;/b&gt;, this release contains a wide range of fixes for regressions and other issues reported against 4.1 GA. A big thank you to all the issue reporters out there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4.1.1 also comes with a &lt;b&gt;selection of minor enhancements&lt;/b&gt;, for example: consistent handling of Java 8's Optional type, a Jackson ObjectMapper builder class with refined defaults, some requested JDBC refinements, as well as &lt;b&gt;specific performance improvements&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://jira.spring.io/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SPR%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%204.1.1%20ORDER%20BY%20issuetype%20ASC"&gt;-&amp;gt; List of resolved JIRA issues for Spring Framework 4.1.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We strongly recommend an immediate upgrade to 4.1.1 for all 4.1 GA users. The Spring Framework team is now working towards &lt;b&gt;Spring Framework 4.1.2 at the end of October&lt;/b&gt;, which will be the foundation for the upcoming Spring Boot 1.2 GA release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On a related note, along with 4.1.2, we are preparing &lt;b&gt;Spring Framework 4.0.8 as the last 4.0.x maintenance release&lt;/b&gt;. If there is anything you'd like to get fixed in the 4.0.x branch still, now is the time to raise it! Otherwise, please upgrade to 4.1.x for ongoing active maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Juergen&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Welcome to another installment of &lt;em&gt;This Week in Spring!&lt;/em&gt; This week &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/09/26/pivotal-at-javaone-2014"&gt;the Spring team is at JavaOne&lt;/a&gt;!   There's been, and will be, &lt;em&gt;lots&lt;/em&gt; to see! We're also hanging out at the booth, talking to as many users as possible. Check out the link I just give listing all the cool Pivotal (and non-Pivotal) talks at JavaOne. (Ahem. Naturally, I personally would &lt;em&gt;love&lt;/em&gt; it if you made  &lt;a href="http://oracleus.activeevents.com/2014/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=3693&amp;amp;tclass=popup"&gt;my talk - &lt;em&gt;Spring4TW!&lt;/em&gt; - tomorrow morning at 8:30am at Parc 55, Cyril Magnin II/III&lt;/a&gt;!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joshlong/meh/master/javaone2014-boot-twis.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joshlong/meh/master/javaone2014-boot-twis.jpg" style="max-width:100%;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to IoT, Big Data, and Microservice demos using &lt;a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/"&gt;NetFlixOSS on Spring&lt;/a&gt;, students were doing the coding challenge to build a &lt;a href="https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/"&gt;REST service with Spring Boot&lt;/a&gt; and pushed to &lt;a href="http://run.pivotal.io"&gt;Pivotal Web Services&lt;/a&gt; in &amp;lt; 15 minutes to get the &lt;a href="http://preshavedyak.com/"&gt;preshavedyak hoodie&lt;/a&gt; from American Apparel, and learning about the best  PaaS for Java available on the market today;  Java 8 / Tomcat 8 support was released just days ago, and there is strong support for Spring, Groovy and Grails.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I really liked Michael Plod's &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/09/26/webinar-replay-why-i-recommend-spring"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why I Recommend Spring&lt;/em&gt; webinar&lt;/a&gt;, now available online as a replay&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Last week, Activiti BPMN2 engine co-founder Joram Barrez and I gave a talk on &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/09/26/webinar-replay-process-driven-spring-applications-with-activiti"&gt;how to build process (read: workflow) centric Spring applications&lt;/a&gt;, also now available online. &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Missed microservice architecture #1? Catch the replay of &lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/09/17/webinar-replay-building-bootiful-microservices-with-spring-boot"&gt;Building "Bootiful" Microservices with Spring Boot&lt;/a&gt; on the Spring Developer Channel&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="http://spring.io/blog/2014/09/26/spring-boot-1-1-7-released"&gt;Spring Boot 1.1.7 is now available&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="http://raymondhlee.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/setup-spring-security-with-active-directory-ldap-in-spring-boot-web-application/"&gt;Setup Spring Security with Active Directory LDAP in Spring Boot Web Application&lt;/a&gt;  (I &lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; got asked about this at the Spring BOF yesterday!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There's been an interesting debate on microservices recently. &lt;a href="http://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2014/09/19/MicroServicesAndJars.html"&gt;"Uncle" Bob Martin has written up a post claiming that &lt;code&gt;.jar&lt;/code&gt;s and Ruby &lt;code&gt;gem&lt;/code&gt;s give you the same benefit of microservices&lt;/a&gt;. There's a &lt;a href="http://www.giorgiosironi.com/2014/09/microservices-are-not-jars.html"&gt;great rebuttal (which I happen to agree with..) by Giorgio Sironi on his blog&lt;/a&gt;. There's even a nice wrapup of &lt;a href="http://www.infoq.com/news/2014/09/microservices-shared-libraries?utm_source=infoq&amp;amp;utm_medium=popular_links_homepage"&gt;the whole discussion on InfoQ&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I really dig &lt;a href="http://blog.pivotal.io/cloud-foundry-pivotal/case-studies-2/platform-wind-tunnel-part-i-heroku"&gt;Matt Stine's &lt;em&gt;wind tunnel&lt;/em&gt; comparison of PaaSes&lt;/a&gt;. Up first: Heroku. I can't wait to see subsequent posts in the series!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This post on using Spring Data Redis was published (and included in &lt;em&gt;TWiS&lt;/em&gt;..) last year, &lt;a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-springredis/index.html"&gt;but it came up again and I still thnk it's a worthy read&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The eHarmony blog has a nice post on &lt;a href="http://www.eharmony.com/engineering/spring-batch-admin-the-tricky-parts/#.VCtPFildUpg"&gt;how to setup Spring Batch Admin (the tricky parts..)&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;em&gt;you have to see it to beleive it&lt;/em&gt; department, did you know there's a &lt;a href="http://bitbucket.org/sglienke/spring4d"&gt;Spring for Delphi (Spring4D) project&lt;/a&gt;? There are Spring-inspired C++, ColdFusion, JavaScript, .NET, Python, and numerous others. Cool to add this to the list.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Intertech blog has &lt;a href="http://www.intertech.com/Blog/spring-integration-tutorial-part-7-service-activators/"&gt;another installment on their &lt;em&gt;epic&lt;/em&gt; Spring Integration tutorial&lt;/a&gt;. This one's on &lt;em&gt;service activators&lt;/em&gt; - basically the Spring Integration escape-hatch so you can call regular Java objects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Benjamin Ball has a great &lt;a href="http://java.dzone.com/articles/getting-started-rabbitmq-and"&gt;writeup on using RabbitMQ and Spring&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yashwant Chavan  has a nice post on building a simple &lt;a href="http://www.technicalkeeda.com/spring/spring-boot-mvc-example"&gt;Spring Boot (with Spring MVC) example and editing it in Eclipse&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our pals at Codecentric are at it again! They've just released &lt;a href="http://blog.codecentric.de/en/2014/09/spring-boot-admin-first-official-release/"&gt;their first cut of their &lt;em&gt;Spring Boot Admin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This looks like something that would fit nicely in the &lt;a href="http://github.com/spring-cloud/"&gt;Spring Cloud&lt;/a&gt; project... &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="http://prezi.com/ob4vxjmj_h1f/spring-boot/"&gt;This has to be one of the coolest Spring Boot presentations, ever&lt;/a&gt;!  Careful, I don't recommend watching it full-screen if you get motion sickness! :)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are you stuck on Apache CXF but still want first-class security? This post &lt;a href="http://java.dzone.com/articles/embedded-jetty-and-apache-cxf"&gt;looks at how to plugin Spring Security on top of CXF in minutes&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Biju Kunjummen did a nice job &lt;a href="http://java.dzone.com/articles/spring-1"&gt;clarifying the differences between Spring's   &lt;code&gt;WebApplicationInitializer&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;ApplicationContextInitializer&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt; It's been a long day, but you've done it: you've got a Spring Boot powered backend and now you need to build the UI that'll power the workforce and deliver next week. Vaadin, a UI framework that marries the ease of use of server-side Java and the rich, dynamic nature of client-side JavaScript, integrates well with Spring Boot and offers UI polish that would be hard to secure any other way. Join Spring developer advocate Josh Long and Vaadin evangelists for a look at how Vaadin and Spring Boot can get you to production quicker, and easier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Security for Microservices with Spring and OAuth2 OAuth2 is a lightweight security protocol that is well-suited for use with HTTP, the protocol at the heart of many modern architectures. Spring Security OAuth2 has a load of new features, not the least of which being the `@Configuration` support in version 2.0. Combine these with Spring Boot and you have a platform which can get you a secure HTTP service application in about 20 lines of code. This presentation shows how the combination of rapid development and production-ready features in the modern Spring stack are a perfect mixture for developing secure components in a system composed of microservices. We explore the new features in Spring OAuth2, guide you through the choice of which to use and when, and show how easy they are to enable quickly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today's applications are complex, distributed systems that - taken together - produce results. Tracking the flow of work through that system, however, becomes increasingly more painful as automated- and human-driven tasks are integrated into business processes. Business can't react to what it can't see. Business can't measure what it can't see. "Workflow" describes the sequence of processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. Workflow systems, like Activiti, describe and then execute these processes. Activiti is an open-source, Apache 2-licensed workflow engine that works with Spring and Spring Boot. In this webinar, join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long and Activiti-ninja Joram Barrez for a look at how to distill, describe and reuse complex business processes using Spring (and Spring Boot) and Activiti. &lt;/p&gt;

In this demo we will explore the power of Spring XD in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). We will look at a solution developed with Spring XD to stream real time analytics from a moving car using open standards. Ingestion of the real time data (location, speed, engine diagnostics, etc), analyzing it to provide highly accurate MPG and vehicle range prediction, as well as providing real time dashboards will all be covered. Watch this demo to get a sense of how Spring XD can serve as a critical building block for the IoT.&lt;/p&gt;
