In Spring, Controllers allow external consumers to use REST APIs to call into the application logic. This is very convenient, since we don’t need to write a whole translation level. Spring controllers give us full access to the request parameters… Continue Reading…

Hibernate and JPA have done a lot for developers in minimizing the code needed to write database applications. Spring Data does a lot of magic behind the code for us, and we’d like to take advantage of that magic. Let’s… Continue Reading…

Today we’ll tackle JDBC options for testing in Spring. Before we start, there’s one more annotation to learn from Spring: @Repository. We put it on a class to tell Spring that this is a data class, talking to a data… Continue Reading…

We’ve discussed what Spring can do for us in terms of integration tests so far, but nothing says more integration than database integration. First, let’s define what we want in our integration tests, before we describe how the wonderful people… Continue Reading…

Mocking in Spring is very useful in testing scenarios. This post is about the MockBean capabilities of Spring.
