In this post, I’m going to show you how to use Project Lombok for best practices in dependency injection with the Spring Framework. The Spring Framework itself has a variety of different ways we can perform dependency injection. The flexibility of options is a strength of the Spring Framework. However, not all of the dependency […]Continue reading
Should I Use Spring REST Docs or OpenAPI? Recently, I was asked which is better to use. Spring REST Docs or OpenAPI. From the perspective of generating documentation for your APIs, you may think these two options are effectively the same thing. But, it’s not exactly an apples to apples comparison. These are significantly different […]Continue reading
Project Lombok is a Java library tool that generates code for minimizing boilerplate code. The library replaces boilerplate code with easy-to-use annotations. For example, by adding a couple of annotations, you can get rid of code clutters, such as getters and setters methods, constructors, hashcode, equals, and toString methods, and so on. This is Part […]Continue reading
Introduction In this post, we are going to write about Project Lombok, a must-have tool for every Spring programmer. Lombok is a Java library, that enhances programmer productivity, by providing several helpful annotations. It makes classes shorter and frees programmers from writing much boilerplate code. After reading this tutorial, we will be able to setup […]Continue reading
The Spring IoC (Inversion of Control) container manages Spring beans. A “Spring bean” is just a Spring managed instantiation of a Java class. The Spring IoC container is responsible for instantiating, initializing, and wiring beans. The container also manages the life cycle of beans. Spring provides several ways through which you can tap into the […]Continue reading
Enterprise Spring applications typically need to run in multiple environments. For example, development, testing, staging, and production. Each such environment has its own set of settings. For example, you might be using an embedded H2 database for development but an enterprise-grade Oracle or MySQL database for production. So the data source and connection configurations for […]Continue reading
Using inheritance can be a valuable time saver for your Spring Framework configurations. In Spring, a bean definition is the configuration information that we provide for beans. For example, bean definition can include property values and constructor arguments of the bean. Bean definition can also include container-specific information, such as init and destroy method settings, […]Continue reading

1. Introduction In today’s blog post we will look at how we can use the caching provider Ehcache in Spring Boot. Ehcache is an open source library implemented in Java for implementing caches in Java programs, especially local and distributed caches in main memory or on the hard disk. Thanks to the implementation of JSR-107, […]Continue reading
