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

Configuring the TaskExecutor


It is appropriate to start this chapter with a recipe that will deal with the processing of huge request transactions, slicing them into pieces to be assigned for thread pool synchronously executions and managing their callbacks to arrive at a final response. In short, the recipe below will enumerate on how to enable asynchronous Spring 5 MVC platform.

Getting started

Using the Eclipse STS from Chapter 1, Getting started with Spring, create a Maven Project ch08 with a core package org.packt.web.reactive to start with.

How to do it...

Let us start this chapter with a new set up and configuration for the new ch08 project and with the following steps:

  1. Add in its pom.xml and all the needed Maven core libraries and dependencies such as the Spring 5, Servlet 3.1, JSP 2.3.1, JSTL 1.2, MySQL Connector 5.1.x, HikariCP 2.5.x, and Log4J 1.2.
  2. Just like in the previous chapters, create similar empty classes, namely SpringWebinitializer, SpringWebinitializer, SpringContextConfig...
