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

Generating multiple ApplicationContexts


The root ApplicationContext is only used for Spring-specific dependency injection such as creating and loading interceptors, message handling resources, and view resolvers. It is not recommended to contain middle-tier models, services, data sources, and web services configuration because it might affect the runtime performance of the DispatcherServlet registration and loading. This recipe will provide a solution on how to organize beans per layer or module to avoid a convoluted bean injection setup.

Getting started

This recipe needs both the ch02-web-xml and ch02-web-jc projects to illustrate how to provide additional definition files so that the first root context will not get bloated with non-Spring beans.

How to do it...

Adding more ApplicationContext definition files might require some changes to be made on the servlet and Spring containers. Follow the given steps:

  1. In the ch02-web-xml project, it is recommended to create another XML definition file...
