Spring 5 Design Patterns

By: Dinesh Rajput

Overview of this book

Design patterns help speed up the development process by offering well tested and proven solutions to common problems. These patterns coupled with the Spring framework offer tremendous improvements in the development process. The book begins with an overview of Spring Framework 5.0 and design patterns. You will understand the Dependency Injection pattern, which is the main principle behind the decoupling process that Spring performs, thus making it easier to manage your code. You will learn how GoF patterns can be used in Application Design. You will then learn to use Proxy patterns in Aspect Oriented Programming and remoting. Moving on, you will understand the JDBC template patterns and their use in abstracting database access. Then, you will be introduced to MVC patterns to build Reactive web applications. Finally, you will move on to more advanced topics such as Reactive streams and Concurrency. At the end of this book, you will be well equipped to develop efficient enterprise applications using Spring 5 with common design patterns

Request and response body conversion


In Chapter 10, Implementing MVC Pattern in a Web Application with Spring, we discussed message conversion for the request body and response body either from Java to JSON, or from JSON to Java object, and many more. Similarly, conversion is also required in the case of a Reactive web application, . The spring core module provides reactive Encoder and Decoder to enable the serialization of a Flux of bytes to and from the typed objects.

Let's see the following example for request body type conversions. Developers do not need to forcefully do type conversion--the Spring Framework automatically converts it for you in both types of approaches: Annotation-based programming, and functional-based programming.

  • Account account: This means that the account object is deserialized before the controller is called without blocking.
  • Mono<Account> account: This means that AccountController can use the Mono to declare logic. The account object is first deserialized,...
