Spring 5.0 Cookbook

Overview of this book

The Spring framework has been the go-to framework for Java developers for quite some time. It enhances modularity, provides more readable code, and enables the developer to focus on developing the application while the underlying framework takes care of transaction APIs, remote APIs, JMX APIs, and JMS APIs. The upcoming version of the Spring Framework has a lot to offer, above and beyond the platform upgrade to Java 9, and this book will show you all you need to know to overcome common to advanced problems you might face. Each recipe will showcase some old and new issues and solutions, right from configuring Spring 5.0 container to testing its components. Most importantly, the book will highlight concurrent processes, asynchronous MVC and reactive programming using Reactor Core APIs. Aside from the core components, this book will also include integration of third-party technologies that are mostly needed in building enterprise applications. By the end of the book, the reader will not only be well versed with the essential concepts of Spring, but will also have mastered its latest features in a solution-oriented manner.

Preface

Using the actuator REST endpoints


From one huge reactive web application, the previous recipe built three service boxes which are all Spring Boot 2.0 applications. As the number of microservices increases, the management and monitoring of each application becomes inconvenient and time-consuming. Spring Boot 2.0 supports a starter POM that provides audits, metrics, status, management operations, and other analytics that can assist in monitoring each microservice. This dependency is inherited from the repository as the spring-boot-starter-actuator.

Getting started

This recipe will need the three Maven projects, ch10-deptservice, ch10-empservice, and ch10-loginservice to contain the Spring Boot Actuator in their respective pom.xml to view application details and enable shutdown operations to avoid the java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind problem.

How to do it...

Follow these steps to enable Spring Boot Actuator starter POM dependency:

  1. Open the pom.xml of the three Spring Boot 2.0...
