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.

Creating database connection pooling


We have created recipes that give us tips and tricks on how to construct and manage the ApplicationContext containers with injected beans, implement and design HTTP request transactions through different types of @Controllers, manage types of scoped-beans, implement views for request dispatch and redirection, and apply the concept of Inverse of Control and Dependency Injection principles. Now, it is time to introduce the integration of the MVC application to some database vendors such as MySQL 5.7. Our main goal is to define, identify, and create the necessary database connection pooling for a Spring MVC project.

Getting started

Create a new Eclipse web project, ch03-jdbc, and configure its pom.xml to make the project web.xml-less. Add the previous Maven dependencies and also implement the same SpringWebInitializer and root context SpringDispatcherConfig for the initialization of our ServletContext. Moreover, set up the same SpringContextConfig for the...
