Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5

By: Chintan Mehta, Subhash Shah, Pritesh Shah, Prashant Goswami, Dinesh Radadiya

Overview of this book

While writing an application, performance is paramount. Performance tuning for real-world applications often involves activities geared toward detecting bottlenecks. The recent release of Spring 5.0 brings major advancements in the rich API provided by the Spring framework, which means developers need to master its tools and techniques to achieve high performance applications. Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5 begins with the Spring framework's core features, exploring the integration of different Spring projects. It proceeds to evaluate various Spring specifications to identify those adversely affecting performance. You will learn about bean wiring configurations, aspect-oriented programming, database interaction, and Hibernate to focus on the metrics that help identify performance bottlenecks. You will also look at application monitoring, performance optimization, JVM internals, and garbage collection optimization. Lastly, the book will show you how to leverage the microservice architecture to build a high performance and resilient application. By the end of the book, you will have gained an insight into various techniques and solutions to build and troubleshoot high performance Spring-based applications.

Spring and threads – transactions

The Spring Framework offers an extensive API for database transaction management. Spring takes care of all basic transaction management control and provides a consistent programming model for different transaction APIs, such as JDBC, Hibernate, Java Transaction API (JTA), Java Persistence API (JPA), and Java Data Objects (JDO). There are two types of transactions provided by Spring: one is declarative and the other is programmatic transaction management. Declarative is very high-level, while programmatic is more advanced but flexible.

Spring transaction management works very well with a single thread. But it cannot manage a transaction across multiple threads. If we try to use the transaction with multiple threads, our program gives a runtime error or an unexpected result.

To understand why a Spring transaction fails with multiple threads...
