Spring 5 Design Patterns

By: Dinesh Rajput

Overview of this book

Design patterns help speed up the development process by offering well tested and proven solutions to common problems. These patterns coupled with the Spring framework offer tremendous improvements in the development process. The book begins with an overview of Spring Framework 5.0 and design patterns. You will understand the Dependency Injection pattern, which is the main principle behind the decoupling process that Spring performs, thus making it easier to manage your code. You will learn how GoF patterns can be used in Application Design. You will then learn to use Proxy patterns in Aspect Oriented Programming and remoting. Moving on, you will understand the JDBC template patterns and their use in abstracting database access. Then, you will be introduced to MVC patterns to build Reactive web applications. Finally, you will move on to more advanced topics such as Reactive streams and Concurrency. At the end of this book, you will be well equipped to develop efficient enterprise applications using Spring 5 with common design patterns

We have seen how Spring works to provide important features, such as the dependency injection pattern, bean life cycle management, AOP, cache management, and Spring, in the backend using the JDBC and ORM modules. In this chapter, we will see how Spring works in the web environment to address some common problems of any web application, such as workflow, validations, and state management.

Like other modules in the Spring Framework, Spring has introduced its own web framework, known as Spring Web MVC. It is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. Spring Web MVC supports the presentation tier, and helps you to build a flexible and loosely coupled web-based application. The Spring MVC module addresses the problem of testing the web components in the enterprise application...
