Spring VS Play

This interface is a simplified version of real caching abstractions from Java technologies such as the ones from Spring or JCache (JSR-107). Both are part of quite complex solutions, having more generic types and different capabilities. Also, annotations would be preferred to using Cache directly in most Java applications.

Mitre really lost a lot of respect with CVE-2016-1000027. Every few weeks a warning that any SpringBoot 2.x project has a CVSS 9.8, which causes all sorts of heartache for those of us bound to CVE remediation. Every blasted security tool reports this one. Spring reviewed and rejected, as did our very, very large organization. Comically, this has become the CVE we use to see how our tools allow us to white/black list entries.

Thank god Spring dropped this interface in the Framework 6.x / Boot 3.x release, and the end for non-commercial support is this year for the old stuff.

Spring Framework

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/tree/main/spring-jcl (commons logging checked in)

We had to write our own frameworks (uphill, both ways) but most current frameworks will have similar documentation pages as well. Both Apache and Spring are especially good at that.

...but you actually can't. This issue - which was thankfully recently closed - demonstrated that the pre-compiled code is not 100% indicative of the AOT-compiled end product, so that spectre of having to conduct the build process on your work machine still exists.

For example I know that a lot of stuff can be done using XML...but controllers can't. (Explicitly not allowed https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/10427)

I also created the issue spring-framework#29844 where I share more context about how AOT limit what can be changed at runtime, what we plan to improve, and some guidance for deploying native applications.

My major complain here is that, as far as being a web framework there is precious little information here about the framework. How does this framework scale with multiple requests? What concurrency strategy is it using (threads, processes, actors, etc?). Is this opinionated (it doesn't seem so but it also doesn't say it isn't either). How does this work with popular libraries x,y,z. The full docs have a little bit more information, but not a ton. But mostly there are some cute toy examples and "built in python" and thats about it.

Lets compare this with for example play https://www.playframework.com/ I know from this that it built on Akka, its stateless, aims for predictable resource consumption, has non-blocking io, etc. There is a ton of really important information on what does this web framework actually do that is really important when you are making a choice of a framework.

I have no idea how good this framework is, but besides a few toy examples, I can't see anything that makes me thing "wow this is great I need to use this".

Scala 3 migration isn't as simple as migrating other apps, you can track the work at https://github.com/playframework/playframework/issues/11260

However do note, Play should be perfectly usable as well, and it's still maintained by the community: https://github.com/playframework/playframework/issues/11649

In university I learned a bit of Java, so maybe I could use it professionally I guess?. There were many options to choose from. DropWizard, Spark, Play Framework. But the more documented one in the internet I found was Springboot, besides there were some courses in spanish and some friends that knew something about Springboot, so I give it a chance.

See https://github.com/playframework/playframework/issues/10572 and https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/6235 for more details and context.

The most popular nowadays are - I guess - akka-http and http4s. You can also use Play if you don't want to start from scratch but prefer a framework-based approach.
