Spring 5.0 Projects

▶Book Description
Spring makes it easy to create RESTful applications, merge with social services, communicate with modern databases, secure your system, and make your code modular and easy to test. With the arrival of Spring Boot, developers can really focus on the code and deliver great value, with minimal contour.

This book will show you how to build various projects in Spring 5.0, using its features and third party tools. We'll start by creating a web application using Spring MVC, Spring Data, the World Bank API for some statistics on different countries, and MySQL database. Moving ahead, you'll build a RESTful web services application using Spring WebFlux framework. You'll be then taken through creating a Spring Boot-based simple blog management system, which uses Elasticsearch as the data store. Then, you'll use Spring Security with the LDAP libraries for authenticating users and create a central authentication and authorization server using OAuth 2 protocol. Further, you'll understand how to create Spring Boot-based monolithic application using JHipster. Toward the end, we'll create an online book store with microservice architecture using Spring Cloud and Netflix OSS components, and a task management system using Spring and Kotlin.

By the end of the book, you'll be able to create coherent and flexible real-time web applications using Spring Framework.

▶What You Will Learn
⦁ Build Spring based application using Bootstrap template and JQuery
⦁ Understand the Spring WebFlux framework and how it uses Reactor library
⦁ Interact with Elasticsearch for indexing, querying, and aggregating data
⦁ Create a simple monolithic application using JHipster
⦁ Use Spring Security and Spring Security LDAP and OAuth libraries for Authentication
⦁ Develop a microservice-based application with Spring Cloud and Netflix
⦁ Work on Spring Framework with Kotlin

▶Key Features
⦁ Take advantage of all the features of Spring 5.0 with third party tools to build a robust back end
⦁ Secure Spring based web application using Spring Security framework with LDAP and OAuth protocol
⦁ Develop robust and scalable microservice based applications on Spring Cloud, using Spring Boot

▶Who This Book Is For
This book is for competent Spring developers who wish to understand how to develop complex yet flexible applications with Spring. You must have a good knowledge of Java programming and be familiar with the basics of Spring.

▶What this book covers
⦁ Chapter 1, Creating an Application to List World Countries with their GDP, is about kickstarting your Spring-based web application development. We will focus on creating a web application using Spring MVC, Spring Data, and the World Bank API for some statistics on different countries, and a MySQL database. The core data for the application will be from the sample world database that comes with MySQL. The UI for this application will be powered by Angular.js. We will follow the WAR model for application deployment and will deploy on the latest version of Tomcat.

⦁ Chapter 2, Building a Reactive Web Application, is about building a RESTful web services application purely using Spring's new WebFlux framework. Spring WebFlux is a new framework that helps create reactive applications in a functional way.

⦁ Chapter 3, Blogpress – A Simple Blog Management System, is about creating a simple Spring Boot-based blog management system that uses Elasticsearch as the data store. We will also implement user roles management, authentication, and authorization using Spring Security.

⦁ Chapter 4, Building a Central Authentication Server, is about building an application that will act as an authentication and authorization server. We will make use of the OAuth2 protocol and LDAP to build a central application that supports authentication and authorization.

⦁ Chapter 5, Application to View Countries and Their GDP Using JHipster, revisits the application we developed in Chapter 1, Creating an Application to List World Countries with their GDP, and we'll develop the same application using JHipster. JHipster helps with the development of Spring Boot and Angular.js production-ready applications, and we will explore the platform and learn about its features and functionality.

⦁ Chapter 6, Creating an Online Bookstore, is about creating an online store that sells books by developing a web application in a layered fashion.

⦁ Chapter 7, Task Management System Using Spring and Kotlin, looks at building a task management system using Spring Framework and Kotlin.
