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

Chapter 7. Reactive Programming

We continue to learn the Java functional programming paradigm in this chapter because some of the upcoming recipes will still require the APIs of java.util.function while building Reactive web components and Stream-based transactions.

This chapter discusses some of the new APIs needed to create Java events that are discrete, asynchronous, and non-blocking which are used in communication between a message sender and the recipient in many applications. This communication will eventually create a loosely-coupled and message-driven environment involving one or more Streams of Object. The model sounds similar to building message-driven transactions in Java Message Service (JMS) and Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) but not exactly, since this communication model deals more with adaptive and scalable Streams of objects that can control data requests and even self-manage the data flow when bad data propagation occurs. When communication pitfalls happen, these...
