Full-stack Java development with Vue 2/3 front-end suite; hands-on examples and source code analysis for Spring, Spring Boot 2/3, and Spring Cloud.
This article compares five practical techniques—custom findBy, Query‑by‑Example, existsBy, COUNT aggregation, and native CASE WHEN EXISTS SQL—to determine whether a database record exists in Spring Boot 3.5.0, providing code examples, generated SQL, performance notes, and recommendations for each approach.
This guide walks through Spring Boot 3's externalized configuration system, showing how to locate, rename, and override property files, use optional and wildcard locations, import additional resources, handle missing files, and apply profile‑specific settings with concrete command‑line examples and code snippets.
This article provides a comprehensive guide to Java MethodHandle, covering its differences from reflection, step‑by‑step creation (Lookup, MethodType, finding handles, invocation), advanced techniques like binding and dropping arguments, array spreading, and a JMH performance comparison with reflection, all demonstrated in a Spring Boot 3.4.2 environment.
This tutorial walks through implementing request tracing using MDC, configuring Logback's TurboFilter for dynamic log filtering, and creating custom filters in Spring Boot 3, complete with code examples, configuration snippets, and practical considerations for performance and correctness.
A Spring Boot 3.4.2 tutorial compares four entity‑to‑DTO conversion strategies—manual mapping, MapStruct, JPQL DTO projection, and JPQL record projection—using JMH benchmarks on an H2 in‑memory database, revealing that JPQL projection is roughly three times faster than the other approaches.
This article introduces the open‑source Spoon library for Java source‑code analysis and transformation, demonstrates how to integrate it with Spring Boot 3, and provides step‑by‑step examples—including visual AST inspection, empty‑catch detection, architecture rule validation, field usage checks, reflection replacement, and automatic code modifications such as adding fields, constructors, logging, and null‑checks.
This article introduces Spring Boot 3's TransactionExecutionListener, explains its purpose compared to traditional transaction hooks, provides a complete code example—including entity, service, custom listener, and test cases—and demonstrates how to observe transaction phases and handle both successful commits and rollbacks.
This article introduces the open‑source DataFaker library for Java, shows how to add it to a Spring Boot 3.4.2 project, and provides step‑by‑step code examples for generating personal, address, collection, enum, SQL, CSV, and localized test data, including schema transformers and expression support.
This guide introduces the Logbook library for Spring Boot 3, explains how to add the starter dependency, configure default logging, customize request filtering, log formatting, sink implementation, and client‑side interception, and provides complete code examples and configuration snippets.
Spring Framework 7 introduces a new baseline on JDK 17/25, upgrades to Jakarta EE 11, Kotlin 2.2 and GraalVM 25, removes several legacy APIs such as spring‑jcl and javax.annotation, deprecates features like RestTemplate and XML MVC config, and adds powerful capabilities including programmatic bean registration, enhanced HTTP client support, and improved testing extensions.
