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

Building a non-reactive Spring MVC application


Spring Boot is a development strategy or methodology in building Spring 5 applications without using too many XML configurations and annotations. Since it does not require so many setups and configurations, software development methodology becomes time-efficient and requirement-centric. Likewise, it has the default core configuration needed to run the application immediately after build and also has an easy-integration with plugins such as JDBC, Spring Security, logging, and Hibernate ORM framework. This first recipe will provide us with a clear procedure for building an enterprise application using the latest Spring Boot 2.0.

Getting started

There are many ways to create a Spring Boot 2.0 application, but this book will try to be consistent with the use of Maven. Using the Eclipse STS in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Spring, create a Maven Project ch09 with a core package org.packt.spring.boot to be the root package.
