Presentations

Insight Plugin Development

Spring Insight provides trace data for web-container managed threads out of the box. But, what about other application threads? Fortunately, Insight provides a pluggable architecture for enhancing the standard trace capabilities. This session discusses the use of the annotation plugin to immediately obtain valuable trace data without writing any additional code. It goes on to to describe the more advanced technique of creating a custom plugin and takes a deep dive into the new Spring Integration and JMS plugins. Finally, we discuss how you can get involved by contributing your own plugins to the community.

Session Detail

Implementing Scalable HA Architectures with Spring Integration

Building robust, cloud ready enterprise systems requires a scalable, highly available, and self-healing architecture. This session presents some real world examples illustrating how these capabilities may be implemented using Spring Integration. Scenarios include competing consumer and HA active-passive configuration using Spring Integration's Control Bus along with various enterprise adapters to implement file polling, database polling, and strict message ordering
