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.

Creating a simple @Controller with method-level URL mapping


The previous recipe centralizes on the URL mapping by having a class-level @RequestMapping annotation. This time the goal is to illustrate how a simple @Controller manages handler methods with each having both the HTTP method and request URL settings.

Getting started

Utilize the same Eclipse STS project ch03 to implement our @Controller and its components. This recipe focuses on other ways of dealing with @Controller and @RequestMapping with the inclusion of using other HTTP methods such as DELETE and PUT. In relation to the PUT method, the recipe will discuss file uploading at the side.

How to do it...

To perform different ways of URL mapping to types of HTTP request handlers, follow these steps:

  1. Since ch03 is a working project already, let us add a simple controller, SimplePatternsController, with three handler methods handling GET and POST transactions inside the org.packt.dissect.mvc.controller package. This simple controller has...
