Overview of this book

Spring 5.0 is due to arrive with a myriad of new and exciting features that will change the way we’ve used the framework so far. This book will show you this evolution—from solving the problems of testable applications to building distributed applications on the cloud. The book begins with an insight into the new features in Spring 5.0 and shows you how to build an application using Spring MVC. You will realize how application architectures have evolved from monoliths to those built around microservices. You will then get a thorough understanding of how to build and extend microservices using Spring Boot. You will also understand how to build and deploy Cloud-Native microservices with Spring Cloud. The advanced features of Spring Boot will be illustrated through powerful examples. We will be introduced to a JVM language that’s quickly gaining popularity - Kotlin. Also, we will discuss how to set up a Kotlin project in Eclipse. By the end of the book, you will be equipped with the knowledge and best practices required to develop microservices with the Spring Framework.

Spring MVC - advanced features

In this section, we will discuss about advanced features related to Spring MVC, including the following:

  • How do we implement generic exception handling for the web application?
  • How do we internationalize messages?
  • How do we write integration tests?
  • How do we expose static content and integrate with frontend frameworks like Bootstrap?
  • How do we secure our web application with Spring Security?

Exception handling

Exception handling is one of the critical parts of any application. It is very important to have a consistent exception handling strategy across the application. One of the popular misconceptions is that only bad applications need exception handling. Nothing can be further from the truth. Even well-designed, well-written applications need good exception handling.

Before the emergence of the Spring Framework, exception handling code was needed across application code due to the wide use of checked exceptions. For example, most of the JDBC methods threw checked...
