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

Defining pointcuts


As mentioned before, pointcuts are used to define a point where advice would be applied. So pointcut is one of the most important elements of an aspect in the application. Let's understand how to define pointcuts. In Spring AOP, we can use expression language to define the pointcuts. Spring AOP uses AspectJ's pointcut expression language for selecting where to apply advice. Spring AOP supports a subset of the pointcut designators available in AspectJ because as you know, Spring AOP is proxy-based and some designators do not support proxy-based AOP. Let's see following table has Spring AOP supported designators.

Spring supported AspectJ designators
