Spring MVC helps you build flexible and loosely coupled web applications. The Spring MVC Framework is designed in such a way that every piece of logic and functionality is highly configurable. This Learning Path aims to make you an expert in designing web applications with Spring MVC 4.In our first module, we’ll begin with an introduction to the Spring framework. You'll then learn aspect-oriented programming. Packed with real-world examples, you’ll get an insight into how you can use Spring Expression Language in your applications to make them easier to manage and maintain.In the second module, you'll learn everything you need to build modern Spring-based enterprise web applications. From practical development techniques and useful tools from the wider Spring ecosystem, to the new JEE standards, the impact of JavaScript, and even the Internet of Things, you'll feel confident that you can deploy Spring for an impressive range of creative purposes. In the final module, you'll find out how to take advantage of Spring MVC's advanced features - essential if you are to properly master the framework. To do this you'll investigate the inner mechanics of Spring MVC, and how they tie into to the broader principles that inform many modern web architectures. With further guidance on how to test, secure, and optimize your application, as well as designing RESTful services, you'll very quickly be ready to use Spring in your next web project.This Learning Path combines some of the best that Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package. It includes content from the following Packt products:• Spring Essentials by Shameer Kunjumohamed, Hamidreza Sattari• Spring MVC Cookbook by Alex Bretet• Mastering Spring MVC 4 by Geoffroy Warin

Oracle 11g Streams Implementer's Guide. Design, implement, and maintain a distributed environment with Oracle Streams using this book and

Ann L. R. McKinnell, Ann L. R. McKinnell, Eric Yen

From smaller businesses through to huge enterprises ñ users all over the world often require access to data 24 hours a day. Distributed database systems proliferate the world of data sharing providing an ability to access real-time data anywhere, anytime. Oracle Streams, a built-in feature of the Oracle database, is a data replication and integration feature critical to the success and wellbeing of enterprises in today's fast moving economy. This book provides the reader with solid techniques to master Oracle Streams technology and successfully deploy distributed database systems.This book quickly goes over the basics and gets you up and running with a simple Oracle 11g Streams environment. It will serve as an excellent companion to the Oracle Streams Administration Guide. It is intended for Oracle database architects and administrators, and provides in-depth discussion on must-know information for the design, implementation, and maintenance of an Oracle Streams environment.The book does not attempt to regurgitate all the information in the Oracle Streams Administration Guides, but rather provides additional clarification and explanation of design, implementation, and troubleshooting concepts that are often elusive in Streams documentation. It also identifies helpful tools and Oracle resources to add to your knowledge base, as well as tried and tested tricks and tips to help you tame Oracle Streams.The book starts by introducing and explaining the components of Oracle Streams and how they work together. It then moves on logically, helping you to determine your distributed environment requirements and design your Streams implementation to meet those requirements. Once these concepts are discussed, the book moves to configuration and basic implementation examples to help solidify those concepts. It then addresses advanced features such as tags, down-stream capture, and conflict resolution. You then move on to maintenance techniques such as documenting the environment, effectively planning and implementing changes to the environment, and monitoring and troubleshooting the environment. When you have studied the techniques and completed the hands-on examples, you will have an understanding of Oracle Streams' core concepts and functionally that will allow you to successfully design, implement, and maintain an Oracle Streamed environment.

React Components. Explore the power of React components for cutting-edge web development

Christopher Pitt

The reader will learn how to use React and its component-based architecture in order to develop modern user interfaces. A new holistic way of thinking about UI development will establish throughout this book and the reader will discover the power of React components with many examples. After reading the book and following the example application, the reader has built a small to a mid-size application with React using a component based UI architecture. The book will take the reader through a journey to discover the benefits of component-based user interfaces over the classical MVC architecture. Throughout the book, the reader will develop a wide range of components and then bring them together to build a component-based UI. By the end of this book, readers would have learned several techniques to build powerful components and how the component-based development is beneficial over regular web development.

Spring MVC Blueprints. Design and implement real-world web-based applications using the Spring Framework 4.x specification based on technical documentation

Sherwin John C.Tragura

Spring MVC is the ideal tool to build modern web applications on the server side. With the arrival of Spring Boot, developers can really focus on the code and deliver great value, leveraging the rich Spring ecosystem with minimal configuration.Spring makes it simple to create RESTful applications, interact with social services, communicate with modern databases, secure your system, and make your code modular and easy to test. It is also easy to deploy the result on different cloud providers.This book starts all the necessary topics in starting a Spring MVC-based application. Moving ahead it explains how to design model objects to handle file objects. save files into a data store and how Spring MVC behaves when an application deals with uploading and downloading files. Further it highlights form transactions and the user of Validation Framework as the tool in validating data input. It shows how to create a customer feedback system which does not require a username or password to log in. It will show you the soft side of Spring MVC where layout and presentation are given importance. Later it will discuss how to use Spring Web Flow on top of Spring MVC to create better web applications. Moving ahead, it will teach you how create an Invoice Module that receives and transport data using Web ServicesBy the end of the book you will be able to create efficient and flexible real-time web applications using all the frameworks in Spring MVC.
