- Spring into the Cloud: Understanding Spring as a Cloud Application Development Platform - Adam Skogman
Abstract: This session will provide a brief technical overview of Spring, the most popular enterprise Java development framework, and then will focus on the best practices for Spring-based cloud application development. Using Spring’s dependency injection and configuration controls, Spring-based applications can become portable from the developer desktop to the enterprise datacenter and into the cloud. Join the experts from SpringSource to learn how to ensure today’s applications are ready for tomorrow’s runtime environment.
- Developing and Deploying Custom Zimbra User Interface and 3rd Party Integrations - Raja Rao
Abstract: Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is a modern Web 2.0 platform that allows developers to easily extend product functionality and customize user experiences through "Zimlets" and open APIs. Zimlets are a framework for integrating ZCS with third party information systems and content as well as creating ""mash-up"" user interfaces and new application "tabs' for end-users. Zimlets and Zimbra APIs let developers solve the problems facing organizations such as adding management access to your preferred voicemail server or CRM, which is not possible in legacy platforms. The upside to creating a custom experience is quite large; in addition to increasing the overall satisfaction of end-users with simplified workflows, it is possible to integrate much of your backend IT systems and make email the heart of the business. During this session, we will provide reference examples, such as Salesforce.com, WebEx, and Facebook, and show how developers with a Javascript, HTML, CSS background plus Zimbra's SOAP and REST APIs can customize ZCS to create and deploy their own Zimlets quickly.
The complete session list and abstracts are available at
Tech Exchange developer blog and will shortly be posted on the web site. Be sure to
register for this great show. The conference fee for the 1-day event is €125 Euros + VAT. Follow the more news and updates at the

Dear community,
We're pleased to announce that Spring ActionScript 1.0 is now available.

API Documentation |
HTML Docs |
ChangelogSpring ActionScript is an offshoot of the Java Spring Framework written in ActionScript 3.0. The framework contains the following core features:
- Inversion of Control container, configurable with XML or MXML
- EventBus supporting loose communication between application components
- Metadata/annotation processing used for autowiring, event handling, ...
- Operation, Command and Task API
- Utilities for abstracting server communication
- Support for Modules
- Extensions for the Cairngorm and PureMVC frameworks
The Spring Actionscript team would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to report bugs, give suggestions and help out in any other kind of way. Without the dedicated Spring community behind us, the framework would not be where it is today. Thank all of you!
As always, we're on the look out for new members to join the team. If you are willing to invest some of your spare time to write documentation, sample applications, fix bugs or develop new functionality then please don't hesitate to get in touch with us!
For the full list of changes please check the
changelog. If you have any suggestions for new functionality or improvements to the existing code base, then please use JIRA to submit a feature request.

SpringSource at JavaOne - the Wrap-up Submitted by Adam Fitzgerald on Thu, 2010-09-23 12:44

SpringSource had a great time at
JavaOne 2010 this week - many thanks to all of the community members that came by the booth to chat with the technical experts. All of the Spring sessions were totally packed and there was so much interest in
Spring Roo and using
REST with Spring MVC that those sessions had to be repeated!
There was also tons of interest in Groovy & Grails. A special congratulations to
Groovy which won the
JavaOne Script Bowl for the second year running. A huge thank you to
Graeme Rocher who stepped in for an ailing
Guillaume Laforge and managed to carry Groovy to victory.
If you couldn't make it to JavaOne, don't forget that
SpringOne 2GX 2010 has over 100 deep technical sessions for both Spring, Tomcat, Groovy & Grails. If you want to build applications that are portable from the desktop to the data center and into the cloud then this conference is for you.
