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 8. Reactive Web Applications

Since Spring Framework 3.1, the ApplicationContext has been supporting scalable, dynamic, real-time, and huge transactions through its non-blocking and asynchronous request handlers. The previous concepts of functional and reactive programming will be very helpful in realizing every recipe of this chapter, through which the progression of Spring Framework's support on non-blocking and asynchronous MVC will be illustrated piece-by piece, starting from the very start of asynchronous @Controller and services up to this day on functional and reactive web support.

Certain areas of this chapter will provide proof that Spring 5 still supports the previous foundation of asynchronous MVC configuration, including some of its new enhancements on concurrency specified by Java 1.8 and above. Also, the chapter will cover some supported view technology that can recognize the Reactor's Publisher<T> data stream. Another inclusion is the integration of Spring Security...
