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

Dependency injection pattern with XML-based configuration


Spring provides dependency injection with XML-based configuration from the very beginning. It is the primary way of configuring a Spring application. According to me, every developer should have an understanding of how to use XML with a Spring application. In this section, I am going to explain the same example as discussed in the previous section of Java-based configuration with reference to XML-based configuration.

 

Creating an XML configuration file

In the section on Java-based configuration, we had created an AppConfig class annotated with the @Configuration annotation. Similarly, for XML-based configuration, we will now create an applicationContext.xml file rooted with a <beans> element. The following simplest possible example shows the basic structure of XML-based configuration metadata:

Following is the applicationContext.xml file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework...
