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 the JavaConfig container


The JavaConfig approach provides an easier, straightforward and programmatical way of loading beans to the container. This approach uses annotations and classes to manage the lifespan of the objects, the dependencies, and the injection of values and objects to setters and constructors. The next recipe showcases how to construct and utilize a Java-based ApplicationContext container.

Getting started

Let us create and use the ch02-jc project to create our first annotation-based ApplicationContext container. We will be using the same model classes presented in the recent recipe.

How to do it...

Let us create beans inside a JavaConfig's context definition class:

  1. Inside the ch02-jc\src\main\java directory, create a package: org.packt.starter.ioc.model. Implement the same Employee and Department model classes as in the previous recipe, Managing the beans in a XML-based container recipe. Open BeanConfig context definition class and inject these newly created...
