[jeremyg484]

I'm pleased to announce that the 1.5.0 GA release of Spring BlazeDS Integration is now available.

See the official release announcement for more details.

Hi
The integration sounds great for the FLEX front end and I am so interesting in the security feature - do you mean it will use Spring-ACEGI as back-end solution? And will it be a feature for the 1.0 final release?
If so , when will we can get the 1.0 release estimated?

[jeremyg484]

Yes, it will use Spring Security 2.x as the back end, and this will be in 1.0 final. We are currently targeting March for a final 1.0 release.

As I understand from the reference manual, there are at least four features being targeted for future releases. I also understand that there is a desire to wrap all of these up in a March 2009 1.0 release.

• Spring Security integration
• BlazeDS Message service integration
• AMFView support
• Eliminate dependency on minimal remoting-config.xml

Can you provides a little more guidance in two areas. First, do you anticipate an M2 or other interim release before 1.0? Second, could you provide any preliminary documentation for the Spring Security support.

Thanks.

RTFM, I guess. My question was half answered at <http://jira.springframework.org/browse/FLEX?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.proje ct:roadmap-panel>. Godspeed on M2.

M2 is now out...see the edited top post.

Great news. I will download shortly and start migrating my test applications. I look forward to testing the new features.

Are Flex annotations going to make it into the final release? I do like the new condensed xml config, but half of my app is using the annotation based method that is so prevalent with Spring 2.5+.

One thing that would be nice too and I have thought about contributing this back to Spring, but it is nothing special, is to make the Dispatcher Servlet use a servletToBeanName like the filters for Spring Security filterToBeanName does. It is a little confusing to have configuration in Servlet and then configuration in the Listener class. (I realize you can do it all with the Servlet, but I prefer the Listener approach.

Is there an updated estimated release date for when RC1 will be available? I'm about to start a new flex/blazeds project that will rely on messaging, so just curious from a planning perspective.

RC1 is available now!
