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

Implementing a Spring container using XML


Let us begin with the creation of the Spring Web Project using the Maven plugin of our STS Eclipse 8.3. This web project will be implementing our first Spring 5.0 container using the XML-based technique. This is the most conventional but robust way of creating a Spring container.

The container is where the objects are created, managed, wired together with their dependencies, and monitored from their initialization up to their destruction. This recipe will mainly highlight how to create an XML-based Spring container.

Getting started

Create a Maven project ready for development using the STS Eclipse 8.3. Be sure you have installed the correct JRE. Let us name the project ch02-xml.

How to do it...

After creating the project, certain Maven errors will be encountered just like in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Spring. Bug-fix the Maven issues in our ch02-xml project in order to use the XML-based Spring 5.0 container by performing the following steps:

  1. Open...
