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

Managing beans in an XML-based container


Frameworks become a popular because of the principle behind the architecture they built from. Each framework is built from different design patterns that manage the creation and behavior of the objects they manage. This recipe will detail how Spring 5.0 manages objects of the applications and how it shares a set of methods and functions across the platform.

Getting started

The two Maven projects previously created will be utilized to illustrate how Spring 5.0 loads objects into the heap. We will also be utilizing the ApplicationContext rather than the BeanFactory container in preparation for the next recipes involving more Spring components.

How to do it...

With ch02-xml, let us demonstrate how Spring loads objects using the XML-based ApplicationContext container:

  1. Create a package org.packt.starter.ioc.model, where our model classes will be placed. Our model classes will be typical Plain Old Java Objects (POJO), for which the Spring 5.0 architecture is...
