<p>Spring is the most widely used framework for Java programming and with its latest update to 5.0, the framework is undergoing massive changes. Built to work with both Java 8 and Java 9, Spring 5.0 promises to simplify the way developers write code, while still being able to create robust, enterprise applications.</p> <p>If you want to learn how to get around the Spring framework and use it to build your own amazing applications, then this book is for you.</p> <p>Beginning with an introduction to Spring and setting up the environment, the book will teach you in detail about the Bean life cycle and help you discover the power of wiring for dependency injection. Gradually, you will learn the core elements of Aspect-Oriented Programming and how to work with Spring MVC and then understand how to link to the database and persist data configuring ORM, using Hibernate.</p> <p>You will then learn how to secure and test your applications using the Spring-test and Spring-Security modules. At the end, you will enhance your development skills by getting to grips with the integration of RESTful APIs, building microservices, and doing reactive programming using Spring, as well as messaging with WebSocket and STOMP.</p>

Features for faster development


Each task discussed previously in the introduction, such as reading data from the presentation layer, binding the read data to an object, and so on, adds extra burden on the development side within limited time. The Spring framework facilitates developers for easy and faster development with the following features:

  • The Spring framework supports MVC architecture, which gives a clear separation of Model, View, and Controller.
  • The framework facilitates the developers with the power of beans for easy handling of data by binding the request parameters to the command object.
  • It provides easy validation of request parameters performing validation either with the Validator interface, or by using annotations. It can also support customization of validation rules.
  • It provides annotations, such as @RequestParam and @RequestHeader, which facilitate request data binding to the method parameters without getting involved in Servlet APIs.
  • It has support for a wide range of view...
