Spring Boot Actuator is a sub-project of the Spring Boot Framework. It uses HTTP endpoints to expose operational information about any running application. The main benefit of using this library is that we get health and monitoring metrics from production-ready applications. Moreover, the gathering of metrics, understanding traffic, or knowing the state of the database, […]Continue reading
Internationalization or I18N is a process that makes your application adaptable to different languages and regions without engineering changes on the source code. You can display messages, currencies, date, time etc. according to the specific region or language, likewise you can say internationalization is a readiness of localization. Maven dependency You will only require the […]Continue reading
Spring Web applications and services need to process client requests sent over HTTP. When the HTTP clients send data with the request, the data is in the request body. On the application side, you need a mechanism to deserialize data sent in the request body to domain objects. This is done using the @RequestBody annotation. […]Continue reading
Data validation is a basic requirement for any application. This is more significant for web applications that accept data as input.

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
