This is a tutorial on Spring MVC, a module in the Spring Framework for rapidly developing web applications. The MVC in Spring MVC stands for Model-View-Controller, a design pattern widely used in Graphical User Interface (GUI) development. This pattern is not only common in web development, but is also used in desktop technology like Java Swing. Sometimes called Spring Web MVC, Spring MVC is one of the most popular web frameworks today and a most sought-after skill. This book is for anyone wishing to learn to develop Java-based web applications with Spring MVC. Sample applications come as Spring Tool Suite and Eclipse projects.

Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) are the underlying technologies for developing web applications in Java. They are essential for any programmer to master in order to effectively use frameworks such as JavaServer Faces, Struts 2 or Spring MVC. Covering Servlet 3.1 and JSP 2.3, this book explains the important programming concepts and design models in Java web development as well as related technologies and new features in the latest versions of Servlet and JSP. With comprehensive coverage and a lot of examples, this book is a guide to building real-world applications.

Some familiarity with basic servlet programming concepts would be a plus, but is not a prerequisite. What You Will Learn Familiarize yourself with the anatomy of the Spring 4.X development environment Understand web application architecture and the Spring MVC request flow Integrate bean validation and custom validation Use error handling and exception resolving Get to grips with REST-based web service development and Ajax Test your web application In Detail Spring MVC helps you build flexible and loosely coupled web applications. The Spring MVC Framework is architected and designed in such a way that every piece of logic and functionality is highly configurable. Also, Spring can integrate effortlessly with other popular web frameworks such as Struts, WebWork, Java Server Faces, and Tapestry. The book progressively teaches you to configure the Spring development environment, architecture, controllers, libraries, and more before moving on to developing a full web application. It begins with an introduction to the Spring development environment and architecture so you're familiar with the know-hows. From here, we move on to controllers, views, validations, Spring Tag libraries, and more. Finally, we integrate it all together to develop a web application. You'll also get to grips with testing applications for reliability. Style and approach This book takes a pragmatic step-by-step approach to web application development using Spring MVC, with informative screenshots and concise explanation.

It will teach you how to override Spring Boot's opinions and frees you from the need to define complicated configurations. What You Will Learn Create powerful, production-grade applications and services with minimal fuss Support multiple environments with one artifact, and add production-grade support with features Find out how to tweak your apps through different properties Use custom metrics to track the number of messages published and consumed Enhance the security model of your apps Make use of reactive programming in Spring Boot Build anything from lightweight unit tests to fully running embedded web container integration tests In Detail Spring Boot provides a variety of features that address today's business needs along with today's scalable requirements. In this book, you will learn how to leverage powerful databases and Spring Boot's state-of-the-art WebFlux framework. This practical guide will help you get up and running with all the latest features of Spring Boot, especially the new Reactor-based toolkit. The book starts off by helping you build a simple app, then shows you how to bundle and deploy it to the cloud. From here, we take you through reactive programming, showing you how to interact with controllers and templates and handle data access. Once you're done, you can start writing unit tests, slice tests, embedded container tests, and even autoconfiguration tests. We go into detail about developer tools, AMQP messaging, WebSockets, security, and deployment. You will learn how to secure your application using both routes and method-based rules. By the end of the book, you'll have built a social media platform from which to apply the lessons you have learned to any problem. If you want a good understanding of building scalable applications using the core functionality of Spring Boot, this is the book for you. Style and approach This book takes a tutorial-based approach to teach you all you need to know to get up and running with the latest version of Spring Boot. Filled with examples, you will gain hands-on experience of every area that Spring tackles.

Unleash the power of Spring MVC and build enterprise-grade, lightning-fast web applications About This Book Configure Spring MVC to build logic-less controllers that transparently support the most advanced web techniques Secure your developments with easy-to-write, reliable unit and end-to-end tests Get this fast-paced, practical guide to produce REST resources and templates as required by the latest front-end best practices Who This Book Is For This Learning Path is for Java developers who want to exploit Spring MVC and its features to build web applications. It will help you step up in your career and stay up to date or learn more about Spring's web scalability. What You Will Learn Set up and build standalone and web-based projects using Spring Framework with Maven or Gradle Develop RESTful API applications for XML and JSON data transfers Investigate Spring data access mechanisms with Spring Data Repositories Generate templates for a responsive and powerful front end with AngularJS and Bootstrap Authenticate over REST with a BASIC authentication scheme and OAuth2; handle roles and permissions Communicate through WebSocket and STOMP messages Design complex advanced-level forms and validate the model Create maintainable unit and acceptance tests to secure the apps Deploy the web application to the cloud in a snap In Detail Spring MVC helps you build flexible and loosely coupled web applications. The Spring MVC Framework is designed in such a way that every piece of logic and functionality is highly configurable. This Learning Path aims to make you an expert in designing web applications with Spring MVC 4. In our first module, we'll begin with an introduction to the Spring framework. You'll then learn aspect-oriented programming. Packed with real-world examples, you'll get an insight into how you can use Spring Expression Language in your applications to make them easier to manage and maintain. In the second module, you'll learn everything you need to build modern Spring-based enterprise web applications.
