In various projects, I am using versions 2.0.2 and 2.1.4 of Spring Web Services. Given that neither of these are listed any longer on the project page at spring.io (http://projects.spring.io/spring-ws/) I am thinking that they're past EOL. Can anyone confirm, or better yet, provide a link to the official EOL announcement/schedule for Spring Web Services?
Thanks in advance.
Good news! Since Spring reorganized their web site (quite some time back now, but this is a really old question), it's much more obvious: https://spring.io/projects/spring-ws#support.

I started with Spring and Spring ROO as job switched with no past experience in Java Development. From last 1.5 year experience doing development in Ruby on Rails. So my new company want me to work with Spring and Spring ROO no Grails/Groovy:(. As no past experience in JAVA DEVELOPMENT struggling a lot with understanding of configuration of XML and Annotation support. Although i covered basics of but Now i was looking to find a way that Spring have such support of Ajax call CRUD operations of entities or Javascript call to execute script which i get as result of remote true URL click. As Rails framework (rails.js).
Hopefuly the person who work with ROR and Spring ROO may be best person to answer my question. Thanks in Advance.
To implement CRUD operations, I may suggest you to use REST service. It is easy to create with Spring MVC.
Spring blog
Good example
Another fast example
And ofcourse Spring documentation
This is copied part of my previous answer :
My advice to you would be to download the spring source(eclipse like IDE) :
http://www.springsource.org/springsource-tool-suite-download
After downloading it you can simply go to File > New > Spring Template Project > Spring MVC project
After you're done with creating project, the working template project(structured project, example controller file, example view, pom.xml etc.) will be created for you. You can just build it and deploy it to tomcat or whatever.
Btw. check this out :
https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-mvc-showcase/blob/master/MasteringSpringMVC3.pdf?raw=true
It is enough to get you started well off with Spring MVC.
I once had the same problem to you (I used to develope Groovy/Grails, then switch to Spring MVC). Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy way to make what you ask in Spring. Spring doesn't have much productivity-enhanced functions,but it enables flexibility instead.
In short, you will be able to do Ajax, but with a lot more manual configuration (pure html/javascript-jQuery and java code) - like in Vacuum answer.
Jquery ajax might be the best solution you can find though it only help you send the the CRUD requests to server side. You must write java code at server to process those requests.
I am developing an API in Ruby on Rails 3 and I would like to secure it with Oauth2.
In other words, I need to create an Oauth provider. Is there a working gem for Rails 3 out there or perhaps a tutorial on the issue?
UPDATE
I know Rails are REST based so I find it very strange that there are no tutorials on how to create a public API and secure it. Does anyone know of any good tutorials. Preferable with oAuth.
Thankful for all help!!
Check out this gem https://github.com/applicake/doorkeeper
It is for Rails 3, the development it's early stages though.
There's also an example app that you take a look and see how the API is done.

I've opensourced an OAuth2 server implementation yesterday.
It's well documented and there is a dashboard to control accesses. Right now I'm searching for somebody who wants to build an engine starting from it, or something cool on top of rack. That's why it is open-source.
https://github.com/intridea/oauth2 is the canonical gem right now for OAuth2 dev. If you are looking for a more complete solution, instead of rolling your own provider code, check out:
https://github.com/songkick/oauth2-provider
https://github.com/freerange/oauth2-provider
But I suggest messing around with the oauth2 gem if you aren't very familiar with the flow so that you can learn it better.
If you are using (or planning to use) devise for authentication, you can use https://github.com/socialcast/devise_oauth2_providable as plugin.
I'm developing a rugygem for OAuth2 provider, Rack::OAuth2.
https://github.com/nov/rack-oauth2
It requires to develop models (token, code, client etc) by yourself, but you can get a whole Rails3 sample OAuth2 server here.
https://github.com/nov/rack-oauth2-sample
I'm looking to implement an OAuth2 provider, too! I'm currently experimenting with this https://github.com/assaf/rack-oauth2-server, which seems to be a full-featured OAuth2 server, though it still supports only MongoDB, although implementing support for other DBMS seems simple enough. I am also looking at some of the other options posted here, lots of promising stuff!
"Doorkeeper is a gem that makes it easy to introduce OAuth 2 provider functionality to your application."

From the historic view, is Ruby on Rails or Spring the first MVC dev platform?
Spring predates RoR by several years, in terms of popularity / success, I think it's fair to say that RoR has been more successful than Spring.
Within the Java community Spring was extremely successful, but it should be noted that before RoR there was barely any Ruby community at all, and it's fairly obvious that RoR is responsible for the huge Ruby community that we have today.
Spring is definitely the first MVC framework to become "famous", but RoR revolutionised the Ruby community and is a far more popular framework now.
No, neither one was. MVC predates web development altogether, it originated with fat client GUI applications. With respect to web apps, people were writing MVC-style webapps (called Model-2 back in the day) with JSPs and servlets back before web frameworks became popular.
Spring and RoR are not all that comparable. Spring is a toolkit, RoR is a full-stack solution. RoR is similar to Roo or Grails (both of which use Spring as a big part of their implementation).
You can see from this article that Spring MVC existed before Ruby on Rails was first released (July 2004).
For a recent project a friend of mine and I have been working on, we want to build a RESTful web API for client application usage. I believe that I have a fairly good grasp of the top-down picture after reading this, but am fairly clueless when it comes to security issues.
I know of OAuth and plan on implementing it, but are there any other concerns we should address first thing? I would hate to spend a large amount of time developing these features to find out later that we've left the site open for malicious attack.
Thanks.
If you are looking for general information on Web security, check out OWASP Ruby on Rails Security Guide V.2. (There's also a first edition which I read back in the day.) Check out OWASP's web site for more security related information.

Is it possible to integrate MS Outlook/Exchange tasks with Rails? I know how to send emails with Rails, but that isn't using anything "special" about exchange, just pointing it at the server.
What is "special" about an Outlook Task and how I can I create/read/update/delete them from Rails. (Even a subset of CRUD would be great.)
PS. I am on a linux based rails system, so solutions that rely on a windows-only function won't work for me.
If you are running Exchange 2007 you should also look at Exchange web services to manipulate things.
I am in the process of building a MS Exchange client access library in Ruby that uses MS Exchange Web services. The code is GPL'd so have at it. Please let me know what kind of issues you have and what other features you'd like to see. It's pretty heavy in development at this point.

WebDAV might be the way to go, if you'd like to do it in Ruby. There is a ruby gem call rexchange that can do the trick. However, MSFT is phasing out WebDAV and replacing it with the Exchange Web Services, which is Zoredache suggested. Unfortunately, MSFT only provides API in C# (technically, it's SOAP stuff that is language-agnostic, some Java developers seem to sucessfully build some stuff using EWS, but I have yet known anyone has done this in Ruby.)
Assuming that the tasks are stored in Exchange, you should be able to access the tasks through WebDAV.
