In this fully-loaded session we will give you an update on all things Spring. We will talk about the latest features in Spring Framework 4.2 which was released this summer, and also provide an outlook to what is coming with Spring 5 in 2016. Next, Spring Boot 1.3 is on the horizon and adds many new features. We will go over those and explain how Spring Boot helps you build production-ready Spring applications. And then we add Spring Cloud to the mix and explain the various modules.

5. Spring 4.2
• @AliasFor
• Hibernate5 Support
• JMS Improvements
• Support for Money, Currency and TimeZone
(Formatter / ConversionService)
5

6. • Used to declare aliases between attributes
within an annotation
• e.g., locations and value in
@ContextConfiguration, or path and value in
@RequestMapping
• Used in composed annotations
@AliasFor

7. Spring 4.2 Testing
• Support for HtmlUnit incl. Selenium Webdriver
integration
• @Commit instead @Rollback(false)
• ContextCache is public Api
• @Sql
7
@Test
@Sql(statements = "DROP TABLE user IF EXISTS")
@Sql(scripts = “/test-schema.sql", statements =
"INSERT INTO user VALUES ('Dilbert')")

8. JUnit Rules
• SpringClassRule & SpringMethodRule
• Can be used with any JUnit runner
8
@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
@ContextConfiguration
public class ParameterizedSpringRuleTests {
@ClassRule
public static final SpringClassRule SPRING_CLASS_RULE
= new SpringClassRule();
@Rule
public final SpringMethodRule springMethodRule
= new SpringMethodRule();

9. Embedded DBs
• Unique Names for Embedded Databases
• Why? Recreating an embedded database within the
same JVM doesn’t actually create anything: a second
attempt simply connects to the existing one.
9
@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
return new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder()
.generateUniqueName(true)
.addScript("schema.sql")
.addScript("user_data.sql")
.build();
}

10. Spring Web
• SimpUserRegistry
• CompletableFuture (Java 8)
• OkHTTP Integration with RestTemplate
• ScriptTemplateView
• JavaScript view templating, Nashorn (JDK 8)
10

11. HTTP Caching
• CacheControl builder
• A builder for creating "Cache-Control" HTTP
response headers.
11
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
.addResourceLocations("/public-resources/")
.setCacheControl(CacheControl.maxAge(1,TimeUnit.HOURS)
.cachePublic());
}
}

12. HTTP Caching
12
@RequestMapping("/book/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<Book> showBook(@PathVariable Long id) {
Book book = findBook(id);
String version = book.getVersion();
return ResponseEntity
.ok()
.cacheControl(CacheControl.maxAge(30, TimeUnit.DAYS))
.eTag(version) // lastModified is also available
.body(book);
}
• Usage in Controllers

13. Spring Web
• Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS)
13
@CrossOrigin(maxAge = 3600)
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/account")
public class AccountController {
@CrossOrigin(origins = "http://domain2.com")
@RequestMapping("/{id}")
public Account retrieve(@PathVariable Long id) { … }
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.DELETE, value = "/{id}")
public void remove(@PathVariable Long id) { … }
}

14. Async
• Spring 3.2 Async Request Handling
• Spring 4.0 WebSocket Messaging (SockJS +
Stomp)
• Spring 4.2 HttpStreaming
• Spring 4.2 Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Spring 4.2 Direct Streaming
14

15. Server-Sent Events
15
@RequestMapping("/metrics")
public SseEmitter subscribeMetrics() {
SseEmitter emitter = new SseEmitter();
// Save emitter for further usage
return emitter;
}

16. Spring 4.3
• Refinements
• A richer set of convenience annotations (pre-
composed)
16

17. Spring 5
• Q4 2016
• Comprehensive JDK 9 support
• Java 8 baseline
• Servlet 3.0+
• HTTP/2
• Reactive support
