JDBC has simplified database access in Java applications, but a few nagging wrinkles remain—namely, persisting Java objects to relational databases. With this book, you’ll learn how the Spring Framework makes that job incredibly easy with dependency injection, template classes, and object-relational-mapping (ORM). Through sample code, you’ll discover how Spring streamlines the use of JDBC and ORM tools such as Hibernate, the Java Persistence API (JPA), and Java Data Objects (JDO). If you’re a Java developer familiar with Spring (perhaps through O’Reilly’s Just Spring tutorial) and want to advance your data access skills, this book shows you how. Learn how to use Spring’s basic and advanced data access tools Work with Spring’s JdbcTemplate class to separate non-critical code from business code Eliminate placeholder variables in your queries with the NamedParameterJdbcTemplate class Use Spring’s template classes to perform batch executions Operate inserts on database tables without writing any SQL statements Learn about Spring’s support for Hibernate as an object-relational-mapping tool Use JPA as a standards-based ORM—alone or with Spring support Move data from a relational to a non-relational database with JDO

You can choose several data access frameworks when building Java enterprise applications that work with relational databases. But what about big data? This hands-on introduction shows you how Spring Data makes it relatively easy to build applications across a wide range of new data access technologies such as NoSQL and Hadoop. Through several sample projects, you’ll learn how Spring Data provides a consistent programming model that retains NoSQL-specific features and capabilities, and helps you develop Hadoop applications across a wide range of use-cases such as data analysis, event stream processing, and workflow. You’ll also discover the features Spring Data adds to Spring’s existing JPA and JDBC support for writing RDBMS-based data access layers. Learn about Spring’s template helper classes to simplify the use ofdatabase-specific functionality Explore Spring Data’s repository abstraction and advanced query functionality Use Spring Data with Redis (key/value store), HBase(column-family), MongoDB (document database), and Neo4j (graph database) Discover the GemFire distributed data grid solution Export Spring Data JPA-managed entities to the Web as RESTful web services Simplify the development of HBase applications, using a lightweight object-mapping framework Build example big-data pipelines with Spring Batch and Spring Integration

Get a concise introduction to Spring, the increasingly popular open source framework for building lightweight enterprise applications on the Java platform. This example-driven book for Java developers delves into the framework's basic features, as well as advanced concepts such as containers. You'll learn how Spring makes Java Messaging Service easier to work with, and how its support for Hibernate helps you work with data persistence and retrieval. Throughout Just Spring, you'll get your hands deep into sample code, beginning with a problem that illustrates dependency injection, Spring's core principle. In the chapters that follow, author Madhusudhan Konda walks you through features that underlie the solution. Learn dependency injection through a simple object coupling problem, along with different injection types Tackle the framework's core fundamentals, including beans and bean factories Dive into containers and other advanced concepts, such as event handling and autowiring beans Discover how Spring makes the Java Messaging Service API easier to use Learn how Spring has revolutionized data access with Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) Use Spring with the Hibernate framework to manipulate data as objects

This is a brilliantly practical work that lets the reader experience a real-world scalable agile enterprise Java-based application being built from the ground up using the latest Spring 2.x kit available. The open source agile lightweight Spring (meta) Framework 2.x is by far the leading innovative force and "lightning rod" that’s driving today’s Java industry. Spring has time and time again proven itself in real-world highly scalable enterprise settings such as banks and other financial institutions. This book is the only authoritative Spring 2 authored book, as it has been written by team members of Interface21, the group that lead the Spring Foundation and its growing community.

The Spring Framework is a major open source application development framework that makes Java/J2EE(TM) development easier and more productive. This book shows you not only what Spring can do but why, explaining its functionality and motivation to help you use all parts of the framework to develop successful applications. You will be guided through all the Spring features and see how they form a coherent whole. In turn, this will help you understand the rationale for Spring's approach, when to use Spring, and how to follow best practices. All this is illustrated with a complete sample application. When you finish the book, you will be well equipped to use Spring effectively in everything from simple Web applications to complex enterprise applications. What you will learn from this book * The core Inversion of Control container and the concept of Dependency Injection * Spring's Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) framework and why AOP is important in J2EE development * How to use Spring's programmatic and declarative transaction management services effectively * Ways to access data using Spring's JDBC functionality, iBATIS SQL Maps, Hibernate, and other O/R mapping frameworks * Spring services for accessing and implementing EJBs * Spring's remoting framework Who this book is for This book is for Java/J2EE architects and developers who want to gain a deeper knowledge of the Spring Framework and use it effectively. Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.

Leverage the power of Spring Security 6 to protect your modern Java applications from hackers Key Features Architect solutions that leverage Spring Security while remaining loosely coupled Implement authentication and authorization with SAML2, OAuth 2, hashing, and encryption algorithms Integrate Spring Security with technologies such as microservices, Kubernetes, the cloud, and GraalVM native images Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionKnowing that experienced hackers are constantly on the prowl to attack your apps can make security one of the most challenging concerns of creating an app. The complexity of properly securing an app is compounded when you must also integrate this factor with legacy code, new technologies, and other frameworks. This book will help you easily secure your Java apps with Spring Security, a trusted and highly customizable authentication and access control framework. The book starts by showing you how to implement different authentication mechanisms before demonstrating how to properly restrict access to your app. You’ll then cover tips for integrating Spring Security with popular web frameworks such as Thymeleaf. The book also features an example of how Spring Security defends against session fixation, moves into concurrency control, and how you can use session management for administrative functions. This fourth edition aligns with Java 17/21 and Spring Security 6, covering advanced security scenarios for RESTful web services and microservices. This ensures you gain a complete understanding of the issues surrounding stateless authentication and discover a concise approach to solving those issues. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to integrate Spring Security 6 with GraalVM native images seamlessly, from start to finish.What you will learn Understand common security vulnerabilities and how to resolve them Implement authentication and authorization and learn how to map users to roles Integrate Spring Security with LDAP, Kerberos, SAML 2, OpenID, and OAuth Get to grips with the security challenges of RESTful web services and microservices Configure Spring Security to use Spring Data for authentication Integrate Spring Security with Spring Boot, Spring Data, and web applications Protect against common vulnerabilities like XSS, CSRF, and Clickjacking Who this book is for If you’re a Java web developer or an architect with fundamental knowledge of Java 17/21, web services, and the Spring Framework, this book is for you. No previous experience with Spring Security is needed to get started with this book.
