Spring

Posts with mentions or reviews of Spring. We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives and similar projects. The last one was on 2024-03-30.
  • Restrictive Abstractions
    2 projects | dev.to | 30 Mar 2024
    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.

  • CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jul 2023
    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.

  • Help with GetMapping annotation
    1 project | /r/javahelp | 1 Jul 2023
    Referring to https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/main/spring-web/src/main/java/org/springframework/web/bind/annotation/GetMapping.java, the value could have got assigned to any of the other members like name, path, params, etc. Is there any logic involved that enables the single value passed to the GetMapping annotation to be assigned to the value member?
  • What's your most painful experience of debugging an issue that only reproduced in production?
    1 project | /r/java | 11 May 2023
    This one. In short, JMS listeners stopped working randomly (of course only on Saturdays, and only under load), but at first we didn't know that and suspected the message broker at fault. We had quite extensive logging, but no observability on the broker. Can't remember all the details, but eventually we figured out it was the listener container, and I could reproduce it after debugging deeply into Spring code during a load test.

    It still has, but it is more of "imaginary" one (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/24434).
  • how does spring webflux interact with the java servlet api?
    1 project | /r/java | 7 Mar 2023
    Simple: Spring WebFlux does not require Servlet, but can adapt to it. We essentially built our own reactive HTTP abstraction, without any Servlet dependencies. Then we made adapters that use said abstraction for (Reactor) Netty and Servlet. Note that we have specific adapters for Tomcat, Jetty, and Undertow, relying on non-blocking native APIs.

  • Understanding SQL vs. NoSQL Databases: A Beginner's Guide
    5 projects | dev.to | 9 Apr 2024
    SQL (Structured Query Language) databases are relational databases. They organize data into tables with rows and columns, and they use SQL for querying and managing data. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

  • I Deployed My Own Cute Lil’ Private Internet (a.k.a. VPC)
    8 projects | dev.to | 18 Mar 2024
    Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).
  • How to dump and restore a Postgres DB with new table ownership
    2 projects | dev.to | 14 Mar 2024
    I've used MySQL for years. But recently, I found myself working PostgreSQL and simple things like dumping and restoring a database are different enough that I decided to document the process. It's straightforward enough once I knew how.
  • Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
    11 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:

  • NoSQL Postgres: Add MongoDB compatibility to your Supabase projects with FerretDB

    FerretDB is an open source document database that adds MongoDB compatibility to other database backends, such as Postgres and SQLite. By using FerretDB, developers can access familiar MongoDB features and tools using the same syntax and commands for many of their use cases.
  • Preventing SQL injection attacks in Node.js

    To better understand how SQL injection works, let's quickly create a vulnerable app using Node.js, Express, and a PostgreSQL database. The application takes user input from a form, constructs a SQL query, and executes it against the database to fetch some data.
