important spring
modules 1
About

This file contains notes on Spring core and Spring


Boot.
Next, I will be posting similar notes on other important
spring modules like spring MVC, Spring Cloud, Spring
Security etc.

Spring Core

• Spring Core technologies are absolutely integral to


the spring framework
• The core technologies include
• IoC : Inversion of Control or DI: Dependency Injection
• Spring Beans
• Spring Container
• AOP: Aspect Oriented Programming

By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 3


Important terms

• Dependency Injection or Inversion of Control –


It is a process in which the objects define their
dependencies. The Spring container then creates and
injects those dependencies when it creates beans.
• Beans – A bean is an object that is instantiated and
managed by Spring IoC container

By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 4


Important terms

• Spring Container – A spring container creates,


configures and assembles beans. It gets instructions
on how to do that using configuration metadata.
Configuration metadata could be in form of XML,
annotations or Java code.

Important terms

Spring Container
By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 6
Important terms

• Spring AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) – It


enables modularization of concerns that cut across
multiple types and objects such as transaction
management or logging.
• AOP is proxy-based framework
• Aspect is the unit of modularity in AOP just like a class is
unit of modularity in OOP.

Important classes and interfaces

• BeanFactory – Provides the configuration framework


and basic spring functionality
• ApplicationContext – Child interface of BeanFactory.
Provides more enterprise specific functionality
• Implementations of ApplicationContext
• ClassPathXmlApplicationContext
• FileSystemApplicationContext
• WebApplicationContext
By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 8
Important annotations
Annotations to inject
• @Autowired - Inject an object
• @Value – Inject a property value
Stereotype annotations
• @Component – Generic stereotype
• @Service – For bean in service layer
• @Repository – For bean in database access layer
• @Controller – For bean in Controller layer
By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 9
Important annotations
@Scope
Defines scope of bean from one of following:
• singleton(default)
• Prototype
• Request
• Session
• Application
• websocket
By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 10
Important annotations

Configuration related
• @Configuration – Indicates a class declaring one or
more beans
• @Import – Import a configuration class
• @ImportResource – Import spring configuration
from a resource file e.g. XML
• @PropertySource – Load properties from a file and
map onto a POJO class
By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 11
Important annotations
Others
• @Bean – Method level annotation to create a spring bean
• @Primary – Mark a bean as primary in case of multiple autowire
candidates
• @Lazy – Create bean on first access instead of startup
• @DependsOn – Make sure other beans are created before current bean
• @Qualifier – Give the name of the bean during autowiring used when
there are multiple autowiring candidates
• @Profile – This is a way to segregate parts of your application
configuration and make it available only in certain environment

Spring Boot

• Spring Boot provides a quick way to create standalone,


production ready, spring based application, that you can
‘just run’
• Provides embedded server (tomcat/jetty/undertow)
• Provides starter dependencies to simplify build
configuration
• Provides prod-ready features like metrics, health checks
and externalized configuration

By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 13


Important terms

• Starters – These are ‘one-stop-shop’ dependencies to


include in your application. They will pull all the needed
spring and non-spring dependencies without you having
to search for them separately. They follow pattern like
‘spring-boot-starter-*’ .
Example-
• spring-boot-starter-batch
• spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb
• Spring-boot-starter-tomcat
By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 14
Important terms

• Configuration properties – These are config data


files packaged inside or outside your jar. Spring Boot
will automatically find and load these files when
application starts. Example:- application.properties or
application-{profile}.properties or YAML equivalent
.

By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 15


Important annotations

• @SpringBootApplication – 3 in 1 annotation for


below annotations:
1. @ComponentScan – Scan current package for spring
bean candidates
2. @EnableAutoConfiguration – Automatically configure
beans based on added dependencies
3. @SpringBootConfiguration – Enable registration of
extra beans in the context or import other configuration

By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 16


Important class

• SpringApplication – This class provides a


convenient way to start your springboot application
from the main method.

By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 17


Spring Boot features

• Provides logging library as per selected starter


• Provides internationalization if ‘messages’ resource
bundle is provided at root of classpath
• Provides integration with JSON mapping libraries
(default is Jackson)
• ‘spring-boot-starter-test’ provides testing
dependencies like junit, spring test, mockito etc.

By Amol Limaye: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolrlimaye/ 18


Starters for various uses

• spring-boot-starter-web :- Spring Boot for web


application development including RESTful services
• spring-boot-starter-batch :- Spring Boot for Batch
application
• spring-boot-starter-websocket :- Starter for
building websocket applications
…and many more
