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 @Async services


It's not only controllers that can be non-blocking in Spring 5; the service layer can too. Just like its lower versions, Spring 5 also supports asynchronous services to implement concurrent service transactions in the background. This recipe will highlight Callable<T> and @Async Spring native services.

Getting started

Open the current Maven project ch08 and implement some methods that run asynchronously.

How to do it...

Spring 5 offers asynchronous service layer that can be called by any asynchronous controllers. Let us build these service layer using the following steps:

  1. Before we start this recipe, the use of @Async requires a thorough and appropriate configuration of any TaskExecutor type in SpringAsynchConfig including some proxy-related configurations on @EnableAsync annotation.
  2. Create a package org.packt.web.reactor.service and add EmployeeService with some template methods:
public interface EmployeeService { 
   public CompletableFuture<List<Employee...
