Spring 5 Design Patterns

By: Dinesh Rajput

Overview of this book

Design patterns help speed up the development process by offering well tested and proven solutions to common problems. These patterns coupled with the Spring framework offer tremendous improvements in the development process. The book begins with an overview of Spring Framework 5.0 and design patterns. You will understand the Dependency Injection pattern, which is the main principle behind the decoupling process that Spring performs, thus making it easier to manage your code. You will learn how GoF patterns can be used in Application Design. You will then learn to use Proxy patterns in Aspect Oriented Programming and remoting. Moving on, you will understand the JDBC template patterns and their use in abstracting database access. Then, you will be introduced to MVC patterns to build Reactive web applications. Finally, you will move on to more advanced topics such as Reactive streams and Concurrency. At the end of this book, you will be well equipped to develop efficient enterprise applications using Spring 5 with common design patterns

Summary


In this chapter, you've seen how the Spring Framework allows you to develop a flexible and loosely coupled web-based application. Spring employs annotations for near-POJO development model in your web application. You learned that with Spring MVC, you can create a web-based application by developing controllers that handle requests, and these controllers are very easy to test. In this chapter, we covered the MVC pattern, including its origins and what problems it solves. The Spring Framework has implemented MVC patterns, which means that for any web application, there are three components--Model, View, and Controller.

Spring MVC implements the Application Controller and Front Controller patterns. Spring's dispatcher servlet (org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet) works as a Front Controller in a web-based application. This dispatcher or front controller routes all requests to the application controller by using handler mapping. In Spring MVC, the controller classes have...
