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

Declarative Annotation-based caching


In Spring applications, Spring's abstraction provides the following Annotations for caching declaration:

  • @Cacheable: This indicates that before execution of the actual method, look at the return value of that method in the cache. If the value is available, return this cached value, if the value is not available, then invoke the actual method, and put the returned value into the cache.
  • @CachePut: This updates the cache without checking if the value is available or not. It always invokes the actual method.
  • @CacheEvict: This is responsible for triggering cache eviction.
  • @Caching: This is used for grouping multiple annotations to be applied on a method at once.
  • @CacheConfig: This indicates to Spring to share some common cache-related settings at the class level.

Let us now take a closer look at each annotation.

The @Cacheable annotation

@Cacheable marks a method for caching. Its result is stored in a cache. For all subsequent invocations of that method with the same...
