Developing Java Applications with Spring and Spring Boot

Overview of this book

Spring Framework has become the most popular framework for Java development. It not only simplifies software development but also improves developer productivity. This book covers effective ways to develop robust applications in Java using Spring. The course is up made of three modules, each one having a take-away relating to building end-to-end java applications. The first module takes the approach of learning Spring frameworks by building applications.You will learn to build APIs and integrate them with popular fraemworks suh as AngularJS, Spring WebFlux, and Spring Data. You will also learn to build microservices using Spring's support for Kotlin. You will learn about the Reactive paradigm in the Spring architecture using Project Reactor. In the second module, after getting hands-on with Spring, you will learn about the most popular tool in the Spring ecosystem-Spring Boot. You will learn to build applications with Spring Boot, bundle them, and deploy them on the cloud. After learning to build applications with Spring Boot, you will be able to use various tests that are an important part of application development. We also cover the important developer tools such as AMQP messaging, websockets, security, and more. This will give you a good functional understanding of scalable development in the Spring ecosystem with Spring Boot. In the third and final module, you will tackle the most important challenges in Java application development with Spring Boot using practical recipes. Including recipes for testing, deployment, monitoring, and securing your applications. This module will also address the functional and technical requirements for building enterprise applications. By the end of the course you will be comfortable with using Spring and Spring Boot to develop Java applications and will have mastered the intricacies of production-grade applications.

Working with additional Actuator endpoints


Spring Boot Actuator provides lots of extra data. The following table is a quick summary:

Actuator Endpoint

Description

auditevents

Exposes audit events for the current application

autoconfig

Reports what Spring Boot did and didn't autoconfigure and why

beans

Reports all the beans configured in the application context (including ours as well as the ones autoconfigured by Boot)

configprops

Exposes all configuration properties

env

Reports on the current system environment

health

A simple endpoint to check the life of the app

heapdump

Returns a GZip-compressed hprof heap dump file (hprof is a tool by every JDK)

info

Serves up custom content from the app

logfile

Returns the contents of the logfile (assuming logging.file or logging.path has been set)

loggers

Lists all configured loggers and their levels. Also supports updating log levels through POST operations.

metrics

Shows counters and gauges on web usage

mappings

Gives us details about all Spring WebFlux routes

status

threaddump...
