Elements of Modern Applications: Spring MVC, REST, and OAuth 2
RWX / CDX
Fort Lauderdale · November 27 - 30, 2012
About this Presentation
In this session we'll work with Spring MVC to define the REST API for a modern application. We'll look at how the latest features of Spring MVC make it possible to create a truly RESTful API and also explore some extensions that provide HATEOS auto-documentation features to Spring MVC. And, since security is an important aspect of any good REST API, we'll also see how to layer OAuth 2 security using Spring Security for OAuth.
Traditionally, an application's functionality has often been defined in terms of the features experienced by its users. Screens, buttons, and text fields are what we would think of when considering what an application would do. Modern applications, however, could be fronted by any number of user interfaces, some offering similar experiences and some distinctly different. In modern applications the REST API exposed by the backend is what defines an application's functionality.
