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

Adding JDBC Connectivity


At this point we are ready to create a full-blown Spring MVC project from Spring Boot 2.0 with a database backend. This recipe will showcase how to add a starter POM that will auto-configure all APIs for the implementation of java.sql.DataSource needed by all the JDBC transactions of EmployeeDao and DepartmentDao.

Getting started

Open again current Maven project ch09 and add a new POM starter to implement the JDBC transactions using MySQL.

How to do it...

Using the previous DAO and service layer, let us implement a Spring Boot 2.0 application by doing the following steps:

  1. Open pom.xml and add the following starter for the Spring Boot application:
<dependency> 
     <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> 
     <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jdbc</artifactId> 
</dependency> 

Note

Since this starter uses HikariCP as a default connection pooling plugin, including Maven dependencies on HikariCP is now not recommended.

  1. Add the MySQL connector...
