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

Constructing asynchronous batch processes


Each step execution can utilize a thread pool to run its readers, writers, and processors. The idea is to implement an asynchronous batch process that can execute independently, instead of each waiting for the previous execution to finish.

Getting started

Create a separate Maven project that will utilize all components of ch11-batch-sync with the inclusion of thread pool generation.

How to do it...

Let's implement a non-blocking batch process by following these steps:

  1. Create a Spring Boot 2.0 project, ch11-batch-async, that has the same starter POM dependencies with the same MySQL connection pool support and Spring OXM module.
  2. Create a bootstrap class that enables batch processing and task scheduling:
@EnableBatchProcessing 
@SpringBootApplication 
@EnableScheduling 
public class AsyncBatchBootApplication { 
    
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { 
     SpringApplication.run(AsyncBatchBootApplication.class, 
 args); 
 } 
} 
  1. In its...
