Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5

By: Chintan Mehta, Subhash Shah, Pritesh Shah, Prashant Goswami, Dinesh Radadiya

Overview of this book

While writing an application, performance is paramount. Performance tuning for real-world applications often involves activities geared toward detecting bottlenecks. The recent release of Spring 5.0 brings major advancements in the rich API provided by the Spring framework, which means developers need to master its tools and techniques to achieve high performance applications. Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5 begins with the Spring framework's core features, exploring the integration of different Spring projects. It proceeds to evaluate various Spring specifications to identify those adversely affecting performance. You will learn about bean wiring configurations, aspect-oriented programming, database interaction, and Hibernate to focus on the metrics that help identify performance bottlenecks. You will also look at application monitoring, performance optimization, JVM internals, and garbage collection optimization. Lastly, the book will show you how to leverage the microservice architecture to build a high performance and resilient application. By the end of the book, you will have gained an insight into various techniques and solutions to build and troubleshoot high performance Spring-based applications.

Understanding Spring modules

Spring provides a modular architecture that is one of the most important reasons for the popularity of the Spring Framework. Its layered architecture enables integration of other frameworks easily and without hassle. These modules provide everything that a developer may need to use in enterprise application development. The Spring Framework is organized into 20 different modules that are built on the top of its Core Container.

The following diagram illustrates different Spring modules organized in a layered architecture:

Spring Framework modules

We will start with discussing the Core Container before moving on to other modules.

Core Container

The Spring Core Container provides the core features of the Spring Framework, namely as Core, Beans, Context, and Expression Language, the details of which are as follows:

Artifact

Module Usage

spring-core

This module facilitates all the utilities used by other modules and it also provides a way for managing the different bean life cycle operations.

spring-beans

This module is mainly used to decouple code dependencies from your actual business logic and eliminates the use of singleton classes using DI and IoC features.

spring-context

This module provides features like internationalization, and resource loading, and also underpins Java EE features like EJB, JMS, and remoting.

spring-expression

This module provides support for accessing properties of beans at runtime and also allows us to manipulate them.

Crosscutting concerns

Crosscutting concerns are applicable to all the layers of an application, including logging and security, among others. Important Spring modules related to crosscutting concerns are as follows:

Artifact Module Usage

spring-aop

This module is mainly used to perform the tasks which are common amongst different parts of a system like transaction management, logging, and security. To enable this we can implement method-interceptors and pointcuts.

spring-aspects

This module is used to integrate any custom object type. It is possible using AspectJ, and the main use of this module is to integrate the objects which are not in the control of the container.

spring-instrument

 This module is used to measure the application's performance and also helps to perform error diagnosis using trace information.

spring-test

This module is used to integrate testing support in a Spring application.

Data Access/Integration

The Data Access/Integration layer in applications interacts with the database and/or the external interfaces. It consists of JDBC, ORM, OXM, JMS, and Transaction modules. These modules are spring-jdbc, spring-orm, spring-oxm, spring-jms, and spring-tx.

Web

The Web layer contains the Web, Web-MVC, Web-Socket, and other Web-Portlet modules. The respective module names are spring-web, spring-webmvc, spring-websocket, spring-webmvc-portlet.

In the next section, we will go through different kinds of Spring projects.
