Building RESTful Web Services with Spring 5

Building RESTful Web Services in Spring 5 with Maven

In this chapter, we will build a simple REST web service that returns Aloha. Before moving to the implementation, we will focus on what components are involved in creating a RESTful web service. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Building a RESTful web service with Apache Maven
  • Using the Eclipse IDE or STS for Spring REST project
  • Creating a new project in Eclipse/STS
  • Running and testing our REST API

Apache Maven

While building the Jakarta Turbine project, engineers found that managing the Ant build tool is hard. They needed a simple tool to build the projects with a clear definition that is easy to understand. Their attempt shaped Apache Maven, and the JARs can be shared across several projects in the central place.


More information on Maven can be found at https://maven.apache.org.

Apache Maven was created to support Java project and build management. Also, its simplified definition makes Java developers' lives easy while building and deploying Java projects.

At the time of writing this book, Apache Maven's latest version is 3.5.0, and it can be downloaded from their website: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi.

Maven 3.3+ requires JDK 1.7 or above. So please make sure of your Java version when you use Maven 3.3.

You can get the binary or source ZIP files (or...

Developing RESTful web services

To create a new project, we can use a Maven command prompt or an online tool, such as Spring Initializr (http://start.spring.io), to generate the project base. This website comes in handy for creating a simple Spring Boot-based web project to start the ball rolling.

Creating a project base

Let's go to http://start.spring.io in our browser and configure our project by filling in the following parameters to create a project base:

  • Group: com.packtpub.restapp
  • Artifact: ticket-management
  • Search for dependencies: Web (full-stack web development with Tomcat and Spring MVC)

After configuring our project, it will look as shown in the following screenshot:

Now you can generate the project by clicking...

Summary

In this chapter, we have seen how to set up a Maven build to support the basic implementation of a web service. Also, we have learned how Maven is helpful in third-party library management as well as Spring Boot and basic Spring REST projects. In the coming chapters, we will discuss more about Spring REST endpoints and Reactor support.

Key benefits

  • Follow best practices and explore techniques such as clustering and caching to achieve a reactive, scalable web service.
  • Leverage the Spring Framework to quickly implement RESTful endpoints.
  • Learn to implement a client library for a RESTful web service using the Spring Framework along with the new front end framework.

Description

REST is an architectural style that tackles the challenges of building scalable web services. In today's connected world, APIs have taken a central role on the web. APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST has become synonymous with APIs.The depth, breadth, and ease of use of Spring makes it one of the most attractive frameworks in the Java ecosystem. Marrying the two technologies is therefore a very natural choice.This book takes you through the design of RESTful web services and leverages the Spring Framework to implement these services. Starting from the basics of the philosophy behind REST, you'll go through the steps of designing and implementing an enterprise-grade RESTful web service. Taking a practical approach, each chapter provides code samples that you can apply to your own circumstances.This second edition brings forth the power of the latest Spring 5.0 release, working with MVC built-in as well as the front end framework. It then goes beyond the use of Spring to explores approaches to tackle resilience, security, and scalability concerns. Improve performance of your applications with the new HTTP 2.0 standards. You'll learn techniques to deal with security in Spring and discover how to implement unit and integration test strategies.Finally, the book ends by walking you through building a Java client for your RESTful web service, along with some scaling techniques using the new Spring Reactive libraries.

Who is this book for?

This book is intended for those who want to learn to build RESTful web services with the latest Spring 5.0 Framework. To make best use of the code samples included in the book, you should have a basic knowledge of the Java language. Previous experience with the Spring Framework would also help you get up and running quickly.

What you will learn

  • Deep dive into the principles behind REST
  • Expose CRUD operations through RESTful endpoints with the Spring Framework
  • Devise response formats and error handling strategies, offering a consistent and flexible structure to simplify integration for service consumers
  • Follow the best approaches for dealing with a service s evolution while maintaining backward compatibility
  • Understand techniques to secure web services
  • Comply with the best ways to test RESTful web services, including tips for load testing
  • Optimise and scale web services using techniques such as caching and clustering

I think it is fair to say that you should know Java at an intermediate level before reading this book. At this level, you should already know how to download and set up an IDE. I do not expect the author to explain to me how to set up a development environment. I always trust that the official site of Spring Tool Suite will have the latest information with regards to setting it up - let the author focus on his subject.With any IT book, it is fair to assume that the accompanying source code could be a little bit ahead of the contents of the book, especially if it is a paper copy, so I rely quite heavily on that and I found the source code worked perfectly well. I take the approach of loading the source code first in my IDE, so I can refer to it while reading the book. I had to make sure my Java environment was set up correctly to Java 11 (10) and then every project worked nicely.When reading a book like this I recommend that one should not feel obliged to read it in sequence. I noticed that the last chapter was a great summary and practical implementation of all the concepts taught in previous chapters, so I started with it and it showed me everything in a practical format. Then I read every chapter in sequence from the beginning and it made sense 100 %.Overall I found that the author covered all the relevant topics required to master Web API development in Spring Framework well and I am satisfied and this was really time well spent for me. I think a good follow-up book would be on consuming this API in Angular or another JavaScript API.

Some chapters are really simplified to explain Spring concepts, especially JWT and other chapters. The last chapter is very heavy, it could have been divided into two chapters.Overall, the book conveys Spring in a simple manner.Good:Initial Spring concepts are good withJWT concepts are goodFull CRUD operations are good in the final chapterLearned more about Postman and other important toolsJava 9.0 nicely usedNeed improvements:Some chapters are heavy

Very disappointed with this book. Poorly written. Got so frustrated by about half way through Chapter 4, I just gave up, closed the book ... never to be opened again. Unfortunately, I highlighted some content in the first three chapters, so I can't return it. Alas.Chief Complaints:* Lacks instructions to setup development environment* I had to add two maven.compiler dependencies to the POM.xml file to get their source files to build correctly* Source code snippets in the chapters are not clearly associated with the source file they belong to* Source code examples in Chapter 4 text are different than source code provided in Chapter 3 source files (e.g. Server.java)* Too many content sections that are only a paragraph or two deep* Poor writing overallI found it exceedingly frustrating working through the first four chapters. The content is poorly organized. They didn't use captions (e.g. Figure 1) to label code snippets, screen shots, etc. Just a mess.I took a chance and purchased a book that had not been reviewed yet ... and got burned.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
