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

Creating a Spring MVC using the JavaConfig approach


After creating the Spring MVC backbone using the XML-based ApplicationContext, this recipe will highlight the JavaConfig equivalent of the same baseline project.

Getting started

Create a web.xml-less Spring web project using the processes established in the Implementing a Spring container recipe using JavaConfig. Configure appropriately and correctly the pom.xml file so that the project will no longer use web.xml. Deploy the blank project first and verify if there are errors before doing this recipe.

How to do it...

Perform the following to build a simple Spring MVC project using the JavaConfig specification:

  1. Create the JavaConfig root context through implementing the abstract class org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter. It has the @Configuration annotation and contains methods that can be overridden to manage validators, view resolvers, controllers, interceptors, and other MVC-specific components needed to...
