When developing REST APIs, it is important to have accurate and well-structured documentation of your API. This documentation is the reference point for anyone who wants to use your API. Spring REST Docs helps you to achieve it. Spring REST Docs take a different approach than any other traditional tools like Swagger. For more information on […]Continue reading
Parameterized tests in JUnit 5 enable you to run a test multiple times with different parameters. It helps the developers to save time in writing and executing the tests. We can write JUnit 5 parameterized tests just like regular JUnit 5 tests but have to use the @ParameterizedTest annotation instead. In a parameterized test, you […]Continue reading
ArgumentCaptor in Mockito allows you to capture arguments passed to methods for further assertions. You can apply standard JUnit assertion methods, such as assertEquals(), assertThat(), and so on, to perform assertions on the captured arguments. In Mockito, you will find the ArgumentCaptor class in the org. mockito package If you are new to mocking with […]Continue reading
Enterprise Applications developed using the Spring Framework use different types of configuration properties to configure the application at runtime. These configuration properties help in connecting to databases, messaging systems, perform logging, caching, and lots more. It is common to store configuration properties in external .properties and .yml files. There are various ways of reading external […]Continue reading
List is one of the most commonly used collections in Java. Some List implementations are LinkedList, ArrayList, and Stack. In this post, I will take you through some of the common operations performed on List. Overview In Java, List is an interface that provides the facility to maintain an ordered collection. It provides different methods that […]Continue reading
Using API Gateways is a common design pattern with microservice architectures. API Gateways allow you to abstract the underlying implementation of the microservices. Microservices based systems typically have a large number of independent services. One challenge in such systems is how external clients interact with the services. If external clients interact directly with each microservices, […]Continue reading
Java 14 introduces a new feature called Records. In Java, Record is a special type of Java class. It is intended to hold pure immutable data in it. The syntax of a record is concise and short as compared to a normal class In this post, I will explain why do we need Java records and […]Continue reading
A Spring Boot RESTful service is typically divided into three layers: Repository, Service, and Controller. This layering helps to segregate the RESTful application responsibilities and enabling loose coupling between the objects. When you develop a layered RESTful application, you will also need to test the different layers. In this post, I will discuss testing Spring […]Continue reading
In my previous post Caching in Spring RESTful Service: Part 1, I discussed how to implement caching for queries on products. Now, consider a scenario where you need to delete or update a product. The cache should be aware of these operations. Or else, the cache will return old product information. To address such problems, […]Continue reading
RabbitMQ is a common messaging broker which allows applications to connect and communicate. It’s common for services in microservices-based systems to communicate asynchronously through messaging. In order to create such a message-based system, you need a message broker, aka messaging server. A message broker can support several messaging patterns. Typically, a message sender sends a […]Continue reading
