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

Intercepting request transactions


The previous chapter ended up with a recipe that used HandlerInterceptor and HandlerInterceptorAdapter as the mediums for handling incoming and outgoing request attributes and session data of any request handler in a @Controller, for security and transaction management purposes. This recipe will provide another option for how to mimic the functionality of these two Spring MVC API classes.

Getting started

Open the same project, ch05, and add a @Controller that will implement requests and responses for our employee login and menu transactions.

How to do it...

Aside from JEE Filter implementation, let us use aspect to intercept some request-response transactions:

  1. Aside from implementing Filter, one obvious solution to monitor sessions during pre and post login transactions is to create interceptors. In the package org.packt.aop.transaction.controller, create a LoginController that will provide a login form and an employee list results page:
@Controller
