I am very pleased to announce that Spring Integration 2.0 GA has been released! The distribution zip containing the Spring Integration JARs, source JARs, and documentation can be downloaded here. The artifacts should also be available from the Maven central repository at some point later today. In the meantime, you can add the springframework Maven repository to your POM. The following example shows a dependency on "spring-integration-core" and the springframework repository entry. If you plan to use any of our adapters, you can replace "spring-integration-core" with the appropriate adapter, e…

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of Spring Integration 2.0! Download | Reference Manual | JavaDoc I thought I would take the opportunity to provide a general "what's new?" guide. There are actually too many new features and improvements to cover them all in a single post, but I will focus on some of the highlights. We will be posting more blogs as we get closer to the 2.0 GA release. For now, this post is roughly based on a session that Oleg and I presented last week at SpringOne. That presentation was mostly demo-driven, and the code is available in our Git repository…

We are pleased to announce that the first milestone release of the Spring AMQP 1.0 project is now available for both Java and .NET! Download it now: Spring AMQP for Java | Spring AMQP for .NET Spring AMQP makes common Spring idioms available to developers who are building AMQP-based messaging solutions. For example, building a messaging application that uses RabbitMQ as a broker will feel quite similar to building an application based on Spring's JMS support. To learn more about the project, visit the Spring AMQP Homepage. There you will find links to the Reference Manual, Forum, Issue Tracker…

The 3rd development milestone for Spring Integration 2.0 was released last week (download it here). If you have read Oleg's recent blog, you already know that we have started working on a new reference sample implementation based on the "Loan Broker" example that plays a significant role in Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf's Enterprise Integration Patterns book. I just wanted to post a brief blog listing a few of the other new additions and improvements in this release. You can expect to see more detailed blog entries covering a few of these features over the next couple weeks. I'm including some…

Continuing the Spring 3.0 "simplification series" started by Keith and Chris, I would like to provide a quick overview of simplifications in scheduling and task execution enabled by Spring 3.0. I will be walking through a basic sample application that you can checkout from the spring-samples Subversion repository. It has been designed to be as simple as possible while showcasing both annotation-driven and XML-based approaches to scheduling tasks in Spring 3.0. Let's begin with the annotation-driven approach. You can run it directly via the main() method in AnnotationDemo. If you take a look…

Spring Integration 1.0.3 is now available. You can find links to the download, reference manual, and more at the Spring Integration home. This release includes quite a few changes, but in this blog, I'm going to focus on one in particular. Starting with this version, the samples are fully self-contained and Maven-enabled. That means you can download the distribution, go into the 'samples' directory, run 'mvn install' and then import the projects into a Maven-aware Eclipse instance, such as the SpringSource Tool Suite. Here's the step-by-step breakdown... *NOTE: if you import the 'osgi-inbound…

The Spring Integration 1.0 GA release was announced 2 months ago at SpringOne Americas, and ever since I've been meaning to write a new, up-to-date "getting started" blog post. Well, the beginning of the year is always a busy time, so my goal is to provide a hands-on example with 10 steps. Each step should take roughly one minute... unless you stop to think ;). So, without further ado, here we go! You can grab the latest version (1.0.1 at the time I'm writing this) here: http://www.springsource.com/download/community?project=Spring%20Integration Once the download completes, unzip the file. You…
