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

Managing task executions using Schedulers


All Mono<T> and Flux<T> Streams use the main thread for executing all its processors, which in some circumstances, can create starvation in some applications that are waiting for the main thread to be released. Eventually, exceptions from both publisher and subscriber can be thrown due to the starvation generated by the thread problems. This recipe will discuss creating thread workers that will lighten up the load of the main thread.

Getting ready

Open project ch08 again and add some services that will illustrate the different ways to create schedulers or thread executors.

How to do it...

To apply schedulers on our Stream operators, let us perform the following steps:

  1. Create a service class EmployeeScheduledStreamservice that contains the following methods that will make use of the custom dispatcher and thread executor on the main thread:
public interface EmployeeScheduledStreamservice { 
   public Flux<Employee> createPublisherThread...
