• Dance dad: Burning CDs

  This is a record of the steps taken to burn an audio file received via Facebook Messenger to a CD, in my case for my daughters dance competition. Downloading an audio file from messenger isn’t partciularly intuitive and once I managed to do that, I needed to use ffmpeg to convert the downloaded file from mp4 to mp3, before using Apple Music to burn the music to CD.

• Auditing

  In this post I introduce the features of spt-development-audit-spring and describe how to integrate it into a Spring Boot application with the spt-development-audit-spring-boot starter, demonstrated with the demo project created as part of the v2.0.0 release of the spt-development-* projects. spt-development-audit-spring has a dependency on spt-development-cid which is integrated into the demo project with spt-development-cid-web as described in an earlier post. The demo project also integrates spt-development-logging-spring and spt-development-cid-jms-spring and has tests that use spt-development-test.

As always, the source is available on GitHub where there are more detailed release notes and the artifacts are also available in Maven Central for easy inclusion in your own Java projects.

• Correlation ID (Part 2)

  This post continues on from the first blog in the series and describes how to integrate spt-development-cid into a Spring Boot web project with spt-development-cid-web-spring-boot and how this can be used in conjunction with spt-development-logging-spring to quickly add useful logging to all layers of your web application.

• Correlation ID

  This is the first in a series of blog posts that go into detail about a number of open source projects I have released, starting with spt-development-cid. spt-development-cid is a very simple library that utilises ThreadLocal for tracking a correlation ID similar to that described by Sam Newman, in Chapter 8 of his excellent book Building Microservices. If you have ever tried to support a system consisting of multiple services that doesn’t use correlation IDs, then you will understand their importance! Sam’s book describes the concept better than I would, so I urge you to read that if you require a deeper understanding.
