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.

Features like implementing JPA and REST web services will also be included to show that some popular core POM starters that have been used in the previous Spring releases, are still present in this new version. Also, there will be some recipes that will be designed to compare and contrast built-in starter Maven libraries of Spring Boot 2.0 against its previous stable releases.

This chapter will also provide a concrete and practical set of procedures for building an application using the new web model, the Functional and Reactive...
