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

Using Thymeleaf to render a Publisher<T> stream


Other than FreeMarker, Spring 5 has a strong built-in support for Thymeleaf template compilation, with the objective of rendering Reactive Stream data directly.

Getting started

Open the Maven project ch08 and add the following view configuration for Thymeleaf integration.

How to do it...

To use Thymeleaf as the templating procedure for rendering reactive contents, follow these steps:

  1. Before this recipe starts, be sure to have the Spring Reactive dependency included in pom.xml since we are building now a reactive web application.
  2. If the rendition requires the use of non-blocking Mono<T> and Flux<T> operations, then Thymeleaf is the appropriate templating library to use, because FreeMarker cannot directly recognize non-blocking operations. To integrate Thymeleaf for Spring 5, add the following Maven dependencies:
<dependency> 
    <groupId>org.thymeleaf</groupId> 
    <artifactId>thymeleaf-spring5</artifactId...
