SPRING IS THE DEPENDENCY INJECTION FRAMEWORK
TO MAKE JAVA APPLICATIONN LOOSELY COUPLED
The architecture of Spring is designed around two core
principles: Dependency Injection (DI) and Aspect-Oriented
Programming (AOP).
DEPENDENCY INJECTION (DI)
It is a design pattern that helps to reduce the coupling between
the components of an application. By using DI, the Spring
framework enables loose coupling between components,
making the application more modular and easier to maintain.
ASPECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (AOP)
The Spring framework provides an AOP framework, which is
responsible for managing cross-cutting concerns in the
application, such as logging, security, and transaction
management.
Spring Framework
The Spring framework consists of several modules,
which can be categorized into four main areas:
The Core Container provides the fundamental
functionality of the Spring framework, including the
IoC container and ApplicationContext.
The Data Access/Integration area provides support
for integrating with databases and other data
sources.
The Web area provides support for building web
applications, including the Spring MVC and Spring
WebFlux modules.
The Miscellaneous area includes other modules
that provide additional functionality, such as the
Spring Security module for authentication and
authorization features.
Core Container
The Core Container provides the fundamental functionality
of the Spring framework, including the Inversion of Control
(IoC) container and the ApplicationContext. It includes the
following modules:
SPRING CORE:
This module provides the fundamental functionality of the
Spring framework, including IoC and DI. The IoC container is
the heart of the Spring Framework, responsible for creating and
managing instances of JavaBeans. It uses dependency injection
to wire the beans together.
SPRING CONTEXT:
This module provides the ApplicationContext, which is an
advanced version of the BeanFactory and provides
additional features, such as internationalization and
resource loading, and the ability to publish and consume
events.
SPRING BEANS:
This module provides the BeanFactory, which is the basic
building block of the IoC container, and the BeanWrapper,
which is responsible for managing the lifecycle of a bean. The
Bean Factory is the core interface for accessing the IoC
container. It provides methods for retrieving beans.
SPRING EXPRESSION LANGUAGE (SPEL):
This module provides a powerful expression language for
querying and manipulating objects during runtime. SpEL
supports a wide range of features, including property access,
method invocation, conditionals, loops, and type conversion.
It also provides support for accessing variables and
functions defined in the application context, as well
as support for defining custom functions and
variables.
Data Access/Integration
The Data Access/Integration area provides support for
integrating with databases and other data sources. It
includes the following modules:
SPRING JDBC:
This module provides a simple JDBC abstraction layer that
reduces the amount of boilerplate code required to work with
JDBC. Also support for transaction management, allowing
developers to manage database transactions declaratively
using Spring’s transaction management.
SPRING ORM:
This module provides integration with Object-Relational
Mapping (ORM) frameworks, such as Hibernate and JPA.
Spring ORM provides a higher-level abstraction layer on top of
ORM frameworks, allowing developers to write less boilerplate
code and more easily integrate ORM technologies with other
Spring features, such as transaction management and caching.
SPRING DATA:
This module provides a consistent and easy-to-use
programming model for working with data access technologies,
including databases, NoSQL, and cloud-based data services.
Also provie automatic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
operations, query generation from method names, support for
pagination and sorting, integration with Spring’s transaction
management, and more.
SPRING TRANSACTION:
This module provides support for declarative transaction
management in Spring applications.
Spring Transaction provides support for various transaction
propagation and isolation levels, allowing developers to
manage transactions at different levels of granularity.
Web
The Web area provides support for building web
applications. It includes the following modules:
SPRING MVC:
This module provides a Model-View-Controller (MVC)
framework for building web applications. Spring MVC provides
a range of features, including support for handling HTTP
requests and responses, form handling, data binding,
validation, and more..
SPRING WEBFLUX:
This module provides a reactive programming model for
building web applications that require high concurrency and
scalability.
Spring WebFlux provides support for building reactive web
applications using a range of technologies, such as Netty,
Undertow, and Servlet 3.1+ containers..
Miscellaneous
The Miscellaneous area includes other modules that provide
additional functionality, such as:
SPRING SECURITY:
This module provides authentication and authorization
features for Spring applications. Spring Security provides a
range of authorization mechanisms, such as role-based
access control and expression-based access control.
SPRING INTEGRATION:
This module provides support for building message-driven
and event-driven architectures. Spring Integration provides
a range of integration patterns, such as messaging,
routing, and transformation. It provides support for a
range of messaging systems, such as JMS, AMQP, and
Apache Kafka.
SPRING BATCH:
This module provides support for batch processing and
integration with enterprise systems.
Spring Batch provides a range of tools and utilities for building
and managing batch processing applications, such as support for
testing and debugging batch jobs, logging and monitoring, and
integration with other Spring modules, such as Spring Data and
Spring Integration.
SPRING CLOUD:
This module provides support for building cloud-native
applications using Spring technologies. Spring Cloud provides a
range of features for building cloud-native applications, such as
service discovery, configuration management, and load
balancing.
