歡迎回到2011年《Spring一週動態》的最後一期。難以置信，我們已經做了一年了！時間都去哪兒了？俗話說，忙碌充實的時間總是過得飛快……

一直以來，我們的目標是希望這些回顧能讓開發者更容易地瞭解Spring社群的動態。SpringSource和VMware的公告、釋出、內容，以及社群創作的海量內容，總有精彩紛呈的事情在發生。

雖然本週有很多精彩的內容，但我們將在下週再進行常規回顧。本週，我們將回顧2011年Spring社群的這一年。

	<lI>  <B>Spring 3.1</B> Development of Spring 3.1 began in earnest in early 2010, and by SpringOne 2GX 2010 we already had an idea of what it was going to look like. By the beginning of this year, <a href ="http://www.springsource.org/node/3026">we already had milestones</a> to play with.  
  As the year progressed, we saw numerous new milestones, followed in short order by release candidates. The release candidates progressed and then, finally, a couple of weeks ago, we <a href = "http://www.springsource.org/node/3335">got Spring 3.1 GA</a>. 

在 Spring 3.1 的眾多令人興奮的新功能和主題中，有一個

• 大大改進的 Java 配置模型
• 針對 JPA 和 Spring MVC 應用程式的增強型、純 Java 配置。
• Profiles，它允許您為配置中的 Bean 定義兩次，然後在應用程式執行時所處的環境基礎上啟用給定的定義。
• 一個 Environment 抽象
• 一個 宣告式的、面向註解的快取模型
• 一個改進的 單元測試體驗
• Hibernate 4 支援

		<B>The Cloud and Cloud Foundry</B> 
		
		 In April of this year, <a href ="http://blog.springsource.org/2011/04/12/launching-cloud-foundry/">SpringSource and VMWare launched   Cloud Foundry</A>, the open source Platform as a Service. <a href = "http://cloudfoundry.org">Cloud Foundry</a> can be run on-premise. 
		
		Cloud Foundry is an open-source Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). Cloud Foundry works with many languages, runtimes, and services. And, if the list of supported services and runtimes wasn't enough, one only had to wait to see <a href="http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/post/6109591023/cloud-foundry-now-supporting-scala"> Scala</a> support, <a href ="http://blog.springsource.org/2011/08/30/using-postgres-on-cloud-foundry/">PostgreSQL</a> support, <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2010/04/13/springsource-acquires-rabbitmq/">RabbitMQ</a> support and <A href = "http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/post/13481010480/cloud-foundry-welcomes-net-framework-community-contributions">.NET</a> support added in the months that followed.
		
	 
			Cloud Foundry works <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/10/13/using-cloud-foundry-services-with-spring-part-1-the-basics/">brilliantly</a> with <a href ="http://blog.springsource.org/2011/11/04/using-cloud-foundry-services-with-spring-part-2-auto-reconfiguration/">Spring applications</a>.
			
			 You can use the <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/11/09/using-cloud-foundry-services-with-spring-applications-part-3-the-cloud-namespace/"> &lt;<CODE>cloud</CODE>&gt;</a> namespace or Java configuration in tandem with the Cloud Foundry library to interrogate and work with the services provisioned by Cloud Foundry. <a href ="http://blog.springsource.org/2011/11/10/using-cloud-foundry-services-with-spring-part-4-%e2%80%93-spring-profiles/">Spring 3.1 profiles can be used to to good effect on Cloud Foundry</a> to conditionally reference data sources that are managed  by the cloud when your application's run in the cloud. Spring AMQP and Spring Integration make  it simple <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/08/16/chatting-in-the-cloud-part-1/">to build messaging applications using RabbitMQ</a> on Cloud Foundry, and the Spring Data projects make it dead simple to build applications that work with <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/05/03/using-mongodb-redis-node-js-and-spring-mvc-in-a-single-cloud-foundry-application/"> MongoDB, and  Redis</a> on Cloud Foundry. There is of course <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/08/24/using-micro-cloud-foundry-from-grails/">Grails support</a> and <a href ="http://blog.springsource.org/2011/04/12/roo-cloud-foundry-productivity-in-the-cloud/">Spring Roo support</a>. <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/08/24/micro-cloud-foundry-for-spring-developers/"> Cloud Foundry released Micro Cloud Foundry</a>, a virtual machine with a fully configured cloud that you could use to develop your Spring applications locally. To support automated builds with Cloud Foundry, <a href="http://blog.springsource.org/2011/09/22/rapid-cloud-foundry-deployments-with-maven/">developers can use the Maven plugin</a>.

	<LI> <B>Big Data</B> 
		2011 delivered the implementation of the NoSQL data integration vision that Rod Johnson described way back at SpringOne 2GX 2010. 
		
   This year saw  many Spring Data projects reach or exceed 1.0 releases (and the numerous milestones and release candidates that precede GA releases!), including  <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/02/10/getting-started-with-spring-data-jpa/">Spring Data JPA</a> and  <a href = "http://www.springsource.org/node/3302">Spring Data Neo4J</a>, <a href  = "http://www.springsource.org/node/3346">Spring Data MongoDB</a>, <a href ="http://www.springsource.org/node/3337">Spring Data Redis</a>, <a href = "http://www.springsource.org/node/3336">Spring Data GemFire</a>, and the evolution of numerous other interesting projects like <a href = "https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-hadoop">Spring Hadoop</a>, and the concept of <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/07/27/fine-tuning-spring-data-repositories/">Spring Data Repositories</a>.

	<LI>  <B>Mobile and The Next Generation Web </B>  
		
		 The web's a big place, and it comes in many form factors.  
	
	Today, delivering an application means delivering it  through the web, and on  mobile platforms like Android and iOS. 
		
		A huge  part of building better mobile applications is building  RESTful services for  communication between client and a server in a standard, interoperable way.
		
		

Spring Core 提供了 `RestTemplate`，它促進了客戶端和伺服器之間的 RESTful 通訊。

Spring Android 支援從 Android 裝置消費 RESTful Web 服務。

This year even saw the creation of some great information for <a href = "http://blog.springsource.org/2011/08/26/clean-code-with-android/"> building cleaner Android applications overall</a>. 		
 

As powerful as REST is, it can't be the full story. A critical piece of the pie is security, and authorization. After all,  Facebook can't very well go around exposing your data through a RESTful service that you haven't explicitly authorized it to. The last few years bore witness to the rise of the various OAuth standards, and implementations by the various 	service providers like Facebook, Twitter, etc. <a href = "http://blog.springsource.com/2011/09/08/spring-social-1-0-what-a-year-makes/">Spring Social went GA this year</a> and it supports communication with these services through OAuth. Spring Android also supports Spring Social, making it ideally trivial to consume OAuth-secured, RESTful services from

Android 應用程式。此外，Spring Security OAuth，一個專注於幫助人們使用 OAuth 公開安全服務的 Spring Security 專案，也於今年開始邁向 GA（General Availability）。
