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

Logging and auditing service methods


Aspect-Object Programming (AOP) is known in many applications as an immediate solution for logging or auditing. This first recipe will introduce the concept and components of AOP in Spring 5.0 as it implements the service logging and auditing features of an MVC application through the use of the Log4J framework.

Getting started

Create a new Eclipse Maven project, ch05, with the web.xml-lessServletContext declaration. Add all the previous libraries of Spring 5.0, Servlet 3.1, JSP 2.3, JUnit 4, and other related plugins to the Maven configuration. Follow Chapter 1, Getting Started with Spring, for building the context definitions.

How to do it...

Before implementing AOP components, let us first implement logging by following these steps:

  1. The previous has already created some POJOs, so just copy the Employee model, the supporting DAO and service interfaces, and their corresponding implementation classes. Place all model classes in a new package, org.packt.aop...
