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
When developing Spring Boot applications, you need to tell the Spring Framework where to look for Spring components. Using component scan is one method of asking Spring to detect Spring managed components. Spring needs the information to locate and register all the Spring components with the application context when the application starts. Spring can auto […]Continue reading
Introduction I’m quickly becoming a fan of using CircleCI for CI builds. I’m finding that CircleCI is a very powerful platform. Recently, I configured CircleCI to build a Spring Boot Microservice. The microservice was generated by JHipster. CircleCI is a online resource which uses Docker containers to run your CI builds. Since your build is […]Continue reading
The Java Programming language provided support for Annotations from Java 5.0. Leading Java frameworks were quick to adopt annotations and the Spring Framework started using annotations from the release 2.5. Due to the way they are defined, annotations provide a lot of context in their declaration. Prior to annotations, the behavior of the Spring Framework […]Continue reading
