Overview of this book

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. 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. This book starts all the necessary topics in starting a Spring MVC-based application. Moving ahead it explains how to design model objects to handle file objects. save files into a data store and how Spring MVC behaves when an application deals with uploading and downloading files. Further it highlights form transactions and the user of Validation Framework as the tool in validating data input. It shows how to create a customer feedback system which does not require a username or password to log in. It will show you the soft side of Spring MVC where layout and presentation are given importance. Later it will discuss how to use Spring Web Flow on top of Spring MVC to create better web applications.

Summary


Web services have been the modern day intercommunication blueprints among huge enterprise applications because they are now the medium for data exchange and many other service-oriented transactions. Lots of technologies support web service implementation in order to cutdown language-specific, platform-dependent, and hardware-branded transactions among islands of enterprise applications. On the other hand, remoting technology has been an old enterprise solution in many cross-platform and distributed architecture scenarios for sharing business logic to enhance software performance.

This chapter has shown us how convenient it is to implement web services and remote transactions in the Spring 4.x Framework due to its lightweight characteristics and its dependency injection principle. Spring has wide support for XML marshaling and JSON mapping which play major parts in data transport for both solutions. Spring can easily work with WSDL generation for SOAP-based web services and REST specification...
