About

Just a moment ago (in February 17th) Journal.IO 1.3 has been released. Journal.IO (https://github.com/sbtourist/Journal.IO) is a lightweight, zero-dependency journal storage implementation written in Java. We use it in our project for storing application events (Event Sourcing pattern). It is a good, stable solution if you want to have simple in use event storage e.g. if you want to implement lightweight queuing mechanism and JMS is overhead for you.

New version resolves some bugs and improves delete operation performance. Unfortunately new version uses new log format which isn’t backward compatible. Therefore we decide to write a simple migrating tool for migrate 1.2 version compatible logs to 1.3 version.

Migrator

Migrator was written in groovy. It is available on github (https://github.com/arkadius/journalioMigration). Also link to the tool is available from official Journal.IO homepage. To use it simply run:

oldLogsRoot is recursively scanned for logs which are migrated parallel in 5 threads (used ASYNC read mode additionally speed up this process). Migrated logs are written in the same hierarchy in newLogsRoot.

Spring Security by example: securing methods

This is a part of a simple Spring Security tutorial:

1. Set up and form authentication
2. User in the backend (getting logged user, authentication, testing)
3. Securing web resources
4. Securing methods
5. OpenID (login via gmail)
6. OAuth2 (login via Facebook)
7. Writing on Facebook wall with Spring Social

Securing web resources is all nice and cool, but in a well designed application it's more natural to secure methods (for example on backend facade or even domain objects). While we may get away with role-based authorization in many intranet business applications, nobody will ever handle assigning roles to users in a public, free to use Internet service. We need authorization based on rules described in our domain.

For example: there is a service AlterStory, that allows cooperative writing of stories, where one user is a director (like a movie director), deciding which chapter proposed by other authors should make it to the final story.

The method for accepting chapters, looks like this:
