Addressing Messaging Challenges Using Spring and RabbitMQ Technologies

For Modern Applications Many businesses are faced with some new messaging challenges for modern applications, such as horizontal scalability of the messaging tier, heterogeneous messaging systems and access methods, and extreme transaction processing. This presentation/demo will cover how businesses can overcome these messaging challenges with the use of Spring and RabbitMQ technologies.

Tom will build a case for AMQP, explain how SpringSource is providing AMQP support via Spring AMQP and Spring Integration, explain how RabbitMQ is a modern messaging solution that offers a reliable, highly available, scalable and portable messaging system with predictable and consistent throughput and latency, and demonstrate how Spring Integration and RabbitMQ can be progressively introduced into a standard Spring web application.

Using Spring in Scala

In this session, we will discuss the Scala programming language, and what it has to offer to Spring developers. We will show how to use the framework you know and love in Scala, and also share some tricks to make this even easier.

In recent years, Scala has been gaining traction amongst Java developers. They choose Scala as a compelling alternative for the Java language itself. Amongst its many qualities, Scala runs on the JVM, introduces many interesting new language concepts, and makes it relatively easy to reuse existing Java code. None of the qualities are unique to Scala per se, but the fact remains that Scala is getting more and more interest, perhaps because of its type-safe nature (as opposed to the many dynamic language alternatives available on the JVM).

Topics that we cover in this session are:

• Configuring a Scala bean in Spring XML
• Using Scala collections in Spring
• Using Spring templates in Scala
• Using Spring transactions
• And a big surprise!

What's New in Spring Integration

Spring Integration 2.2 introduces many exciting new features including among other things new adapters supporting MongoDB, Redis and JPA. Furthermore, the transaction synchronization support was expanded, allowing for the synchronization of inherently non-transactional resources with existing transactions.

Another noteworthy addition is the ability to add behavior to individual endpoints using advice chains. For example, Spring Integration 2.2 now provides out-of-the-box support for various retry strategies.

Attend this session to learn about these and many other new features and improvements. We will also take a look at some of the things planned for Spring Integration 3.0.
