The first milestone version of Spring Integration 2.0 has just recently been released. This version builds upon a Spring 3.0 foundation and will provide several new features including extensive Spring EL support, AOP interception for publishing Messages, and Message Channels that are backed by JMS Destinations. The 2.0 release will also include enhanced OSGi support and several new adapters such as JDBC, TCP/UDP, XMPP, and RSS.

This session will begin with a quick overview of Spring Integration 1.0 for those who are not yet familiar with the project. Next, we'll go through some demos of the features that are already available in the first milestone. Finally, we'll explore the 2.0 roadmap and discuss the features that will be available over the next couple of months leading up to the 2.0 final release. This is your chance to not only catch a glimpse of the project's future but even to influence it with your own ideas and feedback. Don't miss the opportunity!

In this presentation Dave Syer and Mark Fisher will show how to reduce the burden of manual processing in a batch processing environment, and demonstrate how some common real-life use cases can be implemented using features from Spring Batch and Spring Integration. Automation and cost reduction is a key theme for operators and the SpringSource stack has features that make these concerns accessible to developers, so that they become natural and cheap to implement and embed in any application.
Starting with a simple job, the presentation shows how to trigger its execution using file-polling. The sample is then expanded to show interesting partial failure and automatic retry and restart scenarios, all with transparent monitoring and management through a simple user interface.

This intermediate level talk will provide a quick review of the foundational JMS support in Spring (JmsTemplate and message driven POJOs) and then discuss several best practices regarding using JMS with Spring. Some of the best practice topics covered are effective JMS resource management, strategies for transactional message processing in conjunction with database access, and broker configuration tips for ActiveMQ. The use of JMS throughout the Spring portfolio will also be demonstrated, showing BlazeDS and Spring.NET for integration with Adobe and Microsoft .NET platforms as well and the use of JMS in Spring Web Services and Spring Integration.
