Spring 5.0 Cookbook

Overview of this book

The Spring framework has been the go-to framework for Java developers for quite some time. It enhances modularity, provides more readable code, and enables the developer to focus on developing the application while the underlying framework takes care of transaction APIs, remote APIs, JMX APIs, and JMS APIs. The upcoming version of the Spring Framework has a lot to offer, above and beyond the platform upgrade to Java 9, and this book will show you all you need to know to overcome common to advanced problems you might face. Each recipe will showcase some old and new issues and solutions, right from configuring Spring 5.0 container to testing its components. Most importantly, the book will highlight concurrent processes, asynchronous MVC and reactive programming using Reactor Core APIs. Aside from the core components, this book will also include integration of third-party technologies that are mostly needed in building enterprise applications. By the end of the book, the reader will not only be well versed with the essential concepts of Spring, but will also have mastered its latest features in a solution-oriented manner.

Preface

Building standalone controller tests


There are times when individual controller testing is preferable to loading the whole context into the Spring TestContext framework. This mechanism is only applicable to controllers that have fewer dependencies on other beans of the container, which makes them easy to test individually.

Getting ready

Once again, open the Maven ch03 project and add the following standalone controller test cases.

How to do it...

Let us test some existing controllers in ch03 by performing the following steps:

  1. Create another test class inside org.packt.dissect.mvc.test without loading WebApplicationContext and configure MockMvc to test only SimpleController of this project:
        import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.
        MockMvcRequestBuilders.get; 
        import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.
        MockMvcRequestBuilders.post; 
        import static    org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.
        MockMvcResultHandlers...
