Pivotal announced the release of the Spring Framework 4.0.
A central component of the recently announced Spring IO platform, Spring Framework 4.0 gives both Java and Groovy developers a simpler way to deliver and integrate new application architectures, big data, devops and cloud-friendly deployment.
In addition, Spring Framework 4.0 offers deep support for Java 8 and key Java EE 7 specifications that enables developers to be instantly productive with the latest Java features.
Enablement of Spring Boot - a new Spring technology that delivers unprecedented productivity to Java development, competitive with frameworks like Ruby on Rails.
Many other enhancements and new capabilities are now foundational in Spring, such as built-in WebSocket, REST APIs, HTML5 and web messaging support for mobile and similar modern web applications.
A different approach to software development is being adopted to meet the ever-changing customer requirements for additional speed. Traditional application stacks and engineering delivery processes have similarly evolved to meet these needs. Pioneered by web giants’ requirements to operate continuously and at massive scale, modern architectures need to support applications that deliver an integrated user experience that factors in mobile, social, cloud, and big data. Developers must now be able to create a much larger class of applications – in shorter amounts of time – and be familiar with a wide range of technologies.
“With today’s release of the Spring 4.0 Framework, we have taken another important step to help millions of Java developers around the world capitalize on new trends in the market,” said Adrian Colyer, CTO of Application Fabric at Pivotal. “Having grown to become the dominant enterprise programming model for Java, today’s enhancements to the Spring Framework add support for these new types of applications so they are much easier to build and operate at scale -- in any environment.”
Spring Framework 4.0 is open source and available at no charge under an Apache 2.0 license.
