Spring 5.0 Cookbook

By: Sherwin John C. Tragura

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

Building a client-side application with RestTemplate, AsyncRestTemplate and, WebClient


After implementing the RESTful services, let us showcase the procedures on how to consume synchronous, asynchronous and reactive RESTful services from the three microservices using client APIs offered by Spring 5.

Getting started

Deploy all the error-free Employee, Department and Login microservices. Let us now create a Maven project that will serve as a client application to the exposed web services of these three applications.

How to do it...

Let us build a REST client application by following these steps:

  1. Create a ch10-reports Maven project and configure pom.xml similar to the previous projects. Add the parent POM for Spring Boot 2.0.0.M2 and all its starter POM dependencies. Just like in the previous recipe, also include the needed support libraries for MySQL connectivity and RxJava 2.0.
  2. Copy all the data model classes from ch09 and place them inside a new org.packt.microservice.client.model.data package...
