Building a Spring Boot MVC Application with MariaDB and Native JDBC

In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of building a Spring Boot MVC application that integrates with the MariaDB database using native JDBC for data access. We will cover essential steps, including configuring the database connection, defining entities, creating repositories, building controllers, and setting up Thymeleaf templates. By the end of this blog, you'll have a fully functional Spring Boot MVC application for managing products in a MariaDB database. Prerequisites Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place: Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your machine. An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse. Apache Maven for managing project dependencies. A running MariaDB database instance. Step 1: Create a Spring Boot Project Spring Initializr : Visit the Spring Initializr website ( https://start.spring.io/) to create a new Spring Boot project. Configure the project settings as follows: Project:

Building a Spring Boot MVC Application with Database Integration

In this blog, we'll take the previous Spring Boot MVC application a step further by integrating a database. We'll create a simple web application that allows users to add, list, and view items stored in a relational database (H2 in-memory database in this case). Follow along to learn how to build a Spring Boot MVC application with database integration. Prerequisites Before we begin, ensure you have the following installed: Java Development Kit (JDK) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse Apache Maven (for managing dependencies) Step 1: Create a Spring Boot Project Visit the Spring Initializr website ( https://start.spring.io/). Configure your project as follows: Project: Maven Project Language: Java Spring Boot: Choose the latest stable version. Project Metadata: Fill in your project's Group, Artifact, and Package information. Dependencies: Select "Spring Web" and "Spring Data JPA." Click "Generate" to download t

Building a Spring Boot MVC Application: A Step-by-Step Guide

Spring Boot is a powerful framework for building Java-based web applications, and its MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture makes it a perfect choice for creating web applications that follow the principles of separation of concerns and maintainability. In this blog, we'll walk you through the process of building a Spring Boot MVC application from scratch, covering the essential concepts and steps along the way. Prerequisites Before we begin, make sure you have the following tools and software installed: Java Development Kit (JDK) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse Apache Maven (optional but recommended for managing dependencies) Step 1: Create a New Spring Boot Project The first step is to create a new Spring Boot project using Spring Initializr ( https://start.spring.io/). Follow these steps: Visit the Spring Initializr website. Choose your project options: Project: Choose "Maven Project." Language: Choose "Java." Spr

Leveraging Spring Boot for Multi-Source Data Access in MariaDB

In the realm of modern enterprise applications, data often resides in multiple sources. One of the challenges developers face is efficiently managing and accessing data from various databases. In this blog, we'll explore how to tackle this challenge using Spring Boot, one of the most popular frameworks for building Java-based applications, and MariaDB, a powerful open-source relational database management system. Understanding the Need for Multi-Source Data Access Consider a scenario where you have an e-commerce platform that needs to handle data from multiple sources: Order Database : Stores information about customer orders. Product Database : Contains details about the products in your catalog. User Database : Manages user accounts and authentication. In such cases, it's essential to access data from these different sources and potentially combine it for various operations. Spring Boot offers a convenient way to achieve this with its robust support for multiple data sources.

A Comprehensive Guide to Spring Boot Data

  What is Spring Boot Data? In the world of enterprise application development, data is the lifeblood that drives decision-making and enables businesses to thrive. Spring Boot, a popular framework in the Java ecosystem, offers a powerful suite of tools for simplifying the process of interacting with data sources, whether it's a traditional relational database, a NoSQL store, or even cloud-based data services. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the world of Spring Boot Data and explore how it can help you effectively manage data in your Java applications. Spring Boot Data is an integral part of the Spring ecosystem, providing a set of abstractions, libraries, and tools to simplify data access and manipulation in Java applications. It builds on top of the Spring Framework, extending its capabilities to create efficient and robust data access layers. At its core, Spring Boot Data aims to alleviate the boilerplate code and configuration that often accompanies data access

Exploring the New Features of Spring Framework 6.0.12 with Examples

Introduction The Spring Framework, a powerful and versatile framework for building Java applications, has been a go-to choice for developers for many years. With each new release, the Spring team introduces new features and enhancements to make developers' lives easier and applications more robust. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at Spring Framework 6.0.12 and explore some of its exciting features with practical examples. 1. Record-based Configuration Spring Framework 6.0.12 introduces support for record-based configuration. Records are a relatively new feature in Java, introduced in Java 16, and they provide a concise way to declare classes that are primarily data carriers. Spring now allows you to use records for configuration properties, making your code cleaner and more readable. Example: @Configuration public record DatabaseConfig(String url, String username, String password) { @Bean public DataSource dataSource() { return DataSourceBuilder.crea

A Comprehensive Guide to Spring JPA with Example Code

Introduction In the ever-evolving world of software development, managing and accessing data efficiently is paramount. One technology that has greatly simplified database interactions in Java applications is Spring Data JPA. Spring Data JPA is part of the broader Spring Framework ecosystem and provides a set of abstractions and APIs for working with relational databases using Java Persistence API (JPA). In this blog post, we will explore Spring Data JPA through a practical example. Prerequisites Before we dive into the example, make sure you have the following tools and dependencies installed: Java Development Kit (JDK) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA Spring Boot MySQL (or any other relational database) Maven or Gradle for dependency management Setting up the Project Let's start by creating a new Spring Boot project. You can use the Spring Initializer ( https://start.spring.io/) or your IDE's built-in Spring Boot project generator. Be
