This Week in Spring - August 16th, 2022

Engineering | Josh Long | August 16, 2022 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another wonder-filled installment of This Week in Spring! It's been a week! Sometimes I can scarcely believe it myself. And can you believe it's August 16th already?? My daughter's starting school this week! We're in the northern hemisphere, and Summer break is already over and done with for her. There's still another month and some change of summer, officially, though. So, I hope you all are doing whatever you can to maximize your enjoyment of it before the darker and colder months arrive.

Twitter helps me pass the time. I've been working on some code and wanted to use Twitter's OAuth 2 and PKCE support in the application but couldn't quite make it work. So I pinged my pal (everybody's pal, really!) and Spring Security lead Rob Winch (@rob_winch) for some clues, and he did me one better: he put together a sample that demonstrates it all in action

Spring Web Flow 3.0 M1 Released

Engineering | Rossen Stoyanchev | August 10, 2022 | ...

It has been almost 4 years since the last set of Spring Web Flow releases. Nevertheless, the project continues to serve a specific need particularly well, arguably better than alternatives, and remains in active use. While there hasn't been a strong driver for new releases, the upcoming Spring Framework 6 brings a Java 17 baseline and makes the shift to Jakarta EE, which creates the need for such a release in order to enable applications to migrate to this new baseline.

Today I'm pleased to announce the availability of Spring Web Flow 3.0 M1 in the Spring milestone repository. This release focuses mainly on compatibility with Spring Framework 6 and Jakarta EE. The Travel booking-mvc sample on spring-projects/spring-webflow-samples has been updated and the commit history provides example changes…
