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

Implementing lambda expressions using anonymous inner classes


The implementation of functional programming principles in Java has started with the use of anonymous inner classes. Starting with Java 1.7, an abstract method of a certain interface now can be implemented using anonymous inner classes, and even without using the implements keyword, given that it has only one abstract method.

Getting started

Create an Eclipse Maven project, ch06, and pattern the Maven configurations from the previous chapter's pom.xml. Copy the previous SpringContextConfig, SpringDbConfig, SpringDispatcherConfig, and SpringWebinitializer and place them inside their new respective packages under the org.packt.functional.codes core package. Update the DispatcherServlet configuration details and all the copied context definition classes to set up the new project. Reuse also the Employee model and DAO classes used previously.

How to do it...

Functional programming in Java can be illustrated by an interface with one abstract...
