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.

Configuring Logging


After a long configuration recipe on building a Spring 5 MVC application, let us discuss how to enable logging using Spring Boot 2.0

Getting started

Open ch09 again and create and add the following @Controller that utilizes thread pools generated by TaskExecutor.

How to do it...

If logging and auditing can be enabled in a ground-up Spring 5 application, it is easier to integrate a logging mechanism in Spring Boot. Follow these steps:

  1. Create the following packages that will be utilized in the succeeding recipes:
  • org.packt.spring.boot.controller
  • org.packt.spring.boot.dao
  • org.packt.spring.boot.service
  1. Since Spring Boot 2.0 directly supports Logback and SL4J with fewer configurations, create the following logback.xml inside src/main/resources. Assign a separate logger to each package above wherein each has its own Level value. Also, utilize two appenders, namely ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender to log all the messages in Tomcat's stdout.log and ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender...
