Spring 5.0 Cookbook

Overview of this book

The Spring framework has been the go-to framework for Java developers for quite some time. It enhances modularity, provides more readable code, and enables the developer to focus on developing the application while the underlying framework takes care of transaction APIs, remote APIs, JMX APIs, and JMS APIs. The upcoming version of the Spring Framework has a lot to offer, above and beyond the platform upgrade to Java 9, and this book will show you all you need to know to overcome common to advanced problems you might face. Each recipe will showcase some old and new issues and solutions, right from configuring Spring 5.0 container to testing its components. Most importantly, the book will highlight concurrent processes, asynchronous MVC and reactive programming using Reactor Core APIs. Aside from the core components, this book will also include integration of third-party technologies that are mostly needed in building enterprise applications. By the end of the book, the reader will not only be well versed with the essential concepts of Spring, but will also have mastered its latest features in a solution-oriented manner.

Preface

Implementing Reactive WebSocket communication


It is only with Spring 5 that APIs for Reactive WebSocket communication are available to build an ideal, resilient, optimized, and real-time client-server messaging without too many complicated configurations. Part of the additional Reactive modules added to Spring Boot 2.0 are the classes and interfaces ready to build WebSocket communications that utilize the Flux<T> and Mono<T> stream payloads, with backpressure operators applied during bi-directional stream processing.

Getting ready

Create another Maven project, ch12-messenger, needed to implement a mini-chat room based on the Reactive WebSocket APIs.

How to do it...

Let us build a fast and asynchronous messenger using Reactive WebSocket by performing the following steps:

  1. Just like in the previous recipe, convert ch12-messenger to a Spring Boot 2.0 application by adding the Spring Boot 2.0.0.M2 starter POM dependencies, like webflux, actuator for project status monitoring and management...
