Hello Java Enthusiasts!
For March 2009, The Tampa Java User Group will hosts another great
meeting investigating the use of the Spring Framework's dynamic
language. With the growth in popularity languages such as Groovy,
Ruby, Python, etc JSR-223 introduced inherent support dynamic
languages on the VM via the Scripting API. In the next meeting,
speaker RJ Salicco will explore how to integrate scripting into your
own Java developmen using the Spring Framework's support for dynamic
languages.
You will receive a RSVP email (to follow later) to confirm your
attendance so we can plan accordingly. Arrive early and bring a
colleague to enjoy this great topic. There will be food and plenty of
giveaways.
Don't forget, you can now follow the group on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tampajug

With the growing popularity of dynamic languages like Groovy and Ruby,
speaker R.J. Salicco will discuss and demonstrate Spring's support for
dynamic languages inside the Spring container. The presentation will
cover a quick introduction to the basics of the Spring Framework and
explore the followings
* how to create a Spring POJO backed by a dynamic language
* How to use the Spring configuration tag to declare
your dynamic bean
* Refreshing dynamic beans at runtime without restart
* Wiring and injecting values into dynamic beans at runtime
* Use case scenarios such as MVC controllers, validators, and
lightweight business objects that can change dynamically at runtime to
accommodate an agile environment.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
By Lily MaraAI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.

In June 2026, the IETF published RFC 10008, introducing the QUERY method to HTTP, the first new standard HTTP verb since 2010. QUERY enables developers to send richer query filters in the request body while maintaining cacheable, safe, and idempotent semantics. This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
