Mastering Spring MVC 4

Overview of this book

<p>Spring MVC is the ideal tool to build modern web applications on the server side. With the arrival of Spring Boot, developers can really focus on the code and deliver great value, leveraging the rich Spring ecosystem with minimal configuration.</p> <p>Spring makes it simple to create RESTful applications, interact with social services, communicate with modern databases, secure your system, and make your code modular and easy to test. It is also easy to deploy the result on different cloud providers.</p> <p>Mastering Spring MVC will take you on a journey from developing your own web application to uploading it on the cloud.</p> <p>You begin by generating your own Spring project using Spring Tool suite and Spring Boot.</p> <p>As you develop an advanced-level interactive application that can handle file uploads as well as complex URLs, you will dive into the inner workings of Spring MVC and the principles of modern web architectures.</p> <p>You will then test, secure, and optimize your Spring web application and design RESTful services that will be consumed on the frontend.</p> <p>Finally, when everything is ready, you will release your application on a cloud provider and invite everyone to see.</p>

Putting it together


Now that everything works separately, it's time to assemble everything. We will do this in three steps:

  1. Move the upload form to the profile page and remove the old upload page.

  2. Change the submit button on the profile page to trigger the taste search directly.

  3. Change the home page of our application. It should display search results matching our users' tastes right away. If they are unavailable, go to the profile page.

I encourage you to try to do it on your own. You will run into very manageable problems along the way but you should know enough to resolve them on your own. I believe in you.

OK, now that you have done the work (you have, haven't you?), let's take a look at my solution.

The first step is to remove the old uploadPage title. Don't look back, just do it.

Next, put these lines just below the profilePage title:

<div class="row">

    <div class="col m8 s12 offset-m2">
        <img th:src="@{/uploadedPicture}" width="100" height="100"/>
    </div...
