Or, simply want to reuse code from an existing CDI application, in particular CDI's decorators? Then check out this post for an approach to reuse CDI's decorator's inside of Spring.

If you know of something that we've missed or think should be included, don't hesitate to ping your humble editors with any suggestions.

We are pleased to announce that Spring AMQP for Java 1.0 RC2 is now available. In addition to a few bug fixes, this release provides the following: Since this is intended to be our final pre-GA release, please take some time to try it out. In fact if you have a chance, really try to push the limits so that we know we're ready for prime time. Thanks! The Spring AMQP Team

Welcome back to yet another This Week in Spring. SpringSource is out in full force at JAX San Jose this week and we will be at OSCON, in July.
