Apache Shiro security framework releases 3.0.0
shiro.apache.orgI have not heard this name for a long time
For those like me who hadn't heard of this here is Apache's own product description for context:
Apache Shiro™ is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session management. With Shiro’s easy-to-understand API, you can quickly and easily secure any application – from the smallest mobile applications to the largest web and enterprise applications.
In my junior-to-mid days (ca. 2010) Apache Shiro seemed like a breath of fresh air compared to Spring Security in terms of ease of integration.
Good to see it's still around.
I think that many people on startups miss this part of development, robust stable products that do what is expected from them.
Most companies software should not move fast and break things but it should be stable, provide the functionality that their users require and stability is a great asset.
Apache software is reliable in a way that many modern things are not(looking at you platforms like Android, Facebook, etc.).
Java the language is so good. too bad the entire ecosystem is worse than brain dead. overload controlled by xmls scattered all over the filesystem, most read at run time. the mvn-gradle-mvn-gradle-mvn-... frustration and migration (literal) circle. the O.G. supply chain attacker build systems (which doesn't even help actually getting dependencies). everything is so bad. but at least com.java.naming.reverse.the.resolved.they now!
Because the mountain of toml and yaml files is sooo much better.
Your comment isn't relevant to the discussion, as the article is not about the merits of the language, but merely a Java Security Framework.
