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 REST services using @RestController and Spring REST


Using HandlerFunction and RouterFunction in exposing repository data is the major option that is the promoted by this chapter since everything is all about Spring 5. But there are also non-reactive ways of exposing these data using the conventional @RestController and Spring REST that are still present in Spring Boot 2.0, which can be part of building reactive applications and microservices.

Getting started

Open ch09-flux and add the following Spring REST support for Spring Boot 2.0.

How to do it...

To implement REST services in Spring 5, follow these steps:

  1. To enable Spring REST support, add the following starter POM dependency:
<dependency> 
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> 
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-rest</artifactId> 
</dependency> 
  1. All the annotations of SpringDataConfig needed to implement Spring Data JPA are also needed here for Spring REST configuration.
  2. Inside...
