Spring in Action

Product Information

In addition to the new reactive programming features of Spring 5, Spring Boot 2 now provides even more autoconfiguration support than ever before as well as a completely reimagined Actuator for peeking into and manipulating a running application. Spring in Action is an excellent travel companion for the huge landscape that is the Spring Framework." Spring Framework makes life easier for Java developers. New features in Spring 5 bring its productivity-focused approach to microservices, reactive development, and other modern application designs. With Spring Boot now fully integrated, you can start even complex projects with minimal configuration code. And the upgraded WebFlux framework supports reactive apps right out of the box!

I’m happy to say that this fifth edition of Spring in Action covers all of this and more! If you’re a seasoned veteran with Spring, Spring in Action, Fifth Edition will be your guide to everything new that Spring has to offer. On the other hand, if you’re new to Spring, then there’s no better time than now to get in on the action and the first few chapters will get you up and running in no time! Next, take note of the element and, more specifically, its child. This specifies that your project has spring-boot-starter-parent as its parent POM. Among other things, this parent POM provides dependency management for several libraries commonly used in Spring projects. For those libraries covered by the parent POM, you won’t have to specify a version, as it’s inherited from the parent. The version, 2.0.4.RELEASE, indicates that you’re using Spring Boot 2.0.4 and, thus, will inherit dependency management as defined by that version of Spring Boot.No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by means electronic, mechanical, photocopying, or otherwise, without prior written permission of the publisher. Finally, in chapter 19 you’ll see how to deploy your Spring application in a variety of production environments. TacoCloudApplicationTests.java—This is a simple test class that ensures that the Spring application context loads successfully. You’ll add more tests to the mix as you develop the application. It ensures that all dependency libraries are included within the executable JAR file and available on the runtime classpath. Chapter 15 introduces the circuit breaker pattern with Hystrix, enabling microservices that are resilient in the face of failure.

After ten years, this is still the clearest and most comprehensive introduction to the core concepts of the Spring platform.
