Getting Started with JUnit 5: Test your Spring MVC Application with it

In this post, we described how to use JUnit 5 to test your Spring MVC application with Maven. Setup Maven Dependencies We can get the required dependencies by declaring the junit-jupiter-api (version 5.x) dependency in our pom.xml file. This dependency provides the public API for writing tests and extensions. If we are using an IDE that is bundled with an older JUnit 5 version, it throws an exception when we try to run our unit tests by using our IDE. We can fix this problem by adding the following dependency to our POM file: The junit-platform-launcher provides a public API for configuring and launching tests. The API is typically used by IDEs and build tools. To test the Spring application,…

Use Server-Sent Event in Spring 4.2

Today, the Spring Framework was released to 4.2 RC2. In Spring 4.2, better application events and Server-Sent Event(SSE) are supported. In this article, I'll introduce you to the two new features. What's Server-Sent Event Server-sent events (SSE) is a technology where a browser receives automatic updates from a server via an HTTP connection. The Server-Sent Events EventSource API is standardized as part of HTML5 by the W3C. Server-sent event is a standard describing how servers can initiate data transmission toward clients once an initial client connection has been established. They are commonly used to send message updates or continuous data streams to a browser client and are designed to enhance native, cross-browser streaming through a JavaScript API called EventSource, through…

Use WebSockets with Spring, SockJS and Stomp

This guide walks you through the process of creating a "hello world" application that sends messages back and forth, between a browser and the server. WebSocket is a very thin, lightweight layer above TCP. It makes it very suitable to use "subprotocols" to embed messages. In this guide, we’ll dive in and use STOMP messaging with Spring to create an interactive web application. Maven Dependencies First, we need to add the Spring messaging modules in the POM file: Spring MVC Configuration Next, we need to add the message broker config to the Spring MVC config XML file. The main thing here is the setup of the message broker for handling the message exchange between the server and its clients. This is…

Spring MVC MyBatis Integration Tutorial

Last few months, I'm working on a project with Spring MVC and Hibernate. Now, I want to try MyBatis. In this article, I'll tell you how to useMyBatis with Spring MVC.

Further, the system must isolate each transaction from other transactions, results must conform to existing constraints in the database, and transactions that complete successfully must get written to durable storage. So in this example, I'm trying to create a simple MyBatis database transaction, managed by Spring Framework. Okay, so this is my pom file, as you can see, I'm…

But there's no information on how to use CDN with Spring MVC, so I asked a question on StackOverflow. Setup Spring Configuration First of all, you need to use PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer in Spring Configuration(such as dispatcher-servlet.xml) Of course, you need to add XML Namespaces: Create Properties File As I was declared in the Spring configuration, there is a file named testzilla.properties in the classpath.You need to create the file and add the following lines to it:[plain]cdn.url=//cdn.testzilla.org/[/plain] Of course, you can add extra properties if needed: Use CDN Property in JSP Now, we…
