Spring Into Security with the Spring Security Framework!

Java-Design-and-Development

In software programming, the use of frameworks makes things easy and saves a great deal of time for developers. In the Java world, Spring Security is one such framework that is worth consideration by developers. Spring Security is part of the larger Spring Projects Umbrella, and the framework can be used to implement security aspects in Java web applications. Spring Security makes a developer’s job easier and ensures that an application is secure by configuring the appropriate elements in the xml file. It also provides support classes and various filters, as well as support for custom requirements. It is worth nothing that Spring Security sometimes requires a bit more work to achieve specific, complex requirements, but the tool is, nevertheless, a worthwhile addition to any developer’s toolkit.One of the common requirements in web development is to gracefully exit from the application when a user session expires. In this article, we will look at how Spring Security can help a developer to easily configure and handle a session timeout, and explore the issues and workarounds that you’ll need to understand in order to successfully utilize the tool.

Java Ain’t Just a Cup of Joe

Java-Design-and-Development

We all know that Java is more than a cup of ‘Joe’. In the technology world, Java is, of course, an object–oriented programming language with a built–in application programming interface (API), and a rich set of APIs and its platform independence, Java can stand alone as a platform in and of itself.

Java provides a wide range of ready–to–use technologies and frameworks. If your enterprise wants to build an application or a software product in Java, it is important to use a professional team of Java experts. These experts can ensure business success and customer satisfaction with skilled technical feasibility services,a thorough command of architecture, product design, development, maintenance and support and even, (for those nightmarish redesign projects) software re-engineering and Ux design services.

Continuous Integration Ain’t What it Used to Be (With Jenkins, It’s EASIER)

In a previous article, entitled, “Continuous Integration: How to Avoid ‘Integration Hell’, we discussed the general issues and considerations of the continuous integration environment and projects. In this article, we will discuss Jenkins (previously known as Hudson), which is one of the most popular continuous integration (CI) tools, and how you can achieve Continuous Integration using this tool.
The Jenkins tool is an open source Continuous Integration tool which is written in Java, and runs in a servlet container like Apache Tomcat. It can be used to build software written in various languages such as Java, .Net, PHP, C++ etc. This open-source, free software is available under MIT License.

Continuous Integration: How to Avoid ‘Integration Hell’

PDMS

If you have worked on a software development team, you will recognize these scenarios:

  1. You have a large team of engineers developing a software application. While committing the code in the repository, one of the developers forgets to commit one or two files. When other team members take the repository updates, they find problems in the code due to the missing file changes, and they have to spend a long time debugging the problems.
  2. Your engineering team is developing a software product. Your Business Analysis team needs frequent updates of the code to validate the changes or demonstrate new features to the customers. Preparing a new build and deploying it on the staging server for a BA team takes a significant amount of a developer’s valuable time.
