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

Preface

The DAO pattern with the Spring Framework


Spring provides a comprehensive JDBC module to design and develop JDBC-based DAOs. These DAOs in the application take care of all the boilerplate code of the JDBC API, and help to provide a consistent API for data access. In the Spring JDBC, DAO is a generic object to access data for the business tier, and it provides a consistent interface to the services at the business tier. The main goal behind the DAO's classes is to abstract the underlying data access logic from the services at the business tier.

In our previous example, we saw how the pizza company helped us to understand the resource management problem, and now, we will continue with our bank application. Let's see the following example on how to implement DAOs in an application. Suppose, in our bank application, we want the total number accounts in a branch in the city. For this, we will first create an interface for the DAO. It promotes programming to interface, as discussed earlier. It...
