Setting up Spring MVC 3 Web Application

Now its time to code a bit in Skyphoto. So launch Eclipe and create a dynamic web project ready to be deployed on Tomcat 6. I am assuming that readers are atleast familiar with this. Next we will do a bit of configuration and throw in some Spring 3 jar files into the WEB-INF/lib folder.
Step 1 - Configure Spring Servlets and log4j in the web application deployment descriptor.

 Step 2 - log4j.xml
The log4j configuration will be very useful later to see all framework and application messages. I have set it to debug level to help understand the framework better.
Step 3 - Setting up a bare minimal spring configuration file Listing 3 - spring-web.xml
Step 4 - setup a simple jsp Listing 4 - index.jsp
Figure 1 - Project Directory Structure in Eclipse
Finally here is a view of the Eclipse project shown in Figure 1. You can very well make out the jar files you need for the time being.

  • Note 1 - that I am storing all configuration files under /WEB-INF/config
  • Note 2 - donot forget to download Spring framework and Security security distributions from their respective websites.

Part 3 - Integrating Tiles, Thymeleaf and Spring MVC 3

In this post I will demonstrate how to integrate Apache Tiles with Thymeleaf. This is very simple. The first step is to include the tiles and thymeleaf-tiles extension dependencies. I will include them in the pom.xml. Note we wil lbe using Tiles 2.2.2 Listing 1 - parent/pom.xml --- thymeleaf-tiles and tiles dependencies <!-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --> <!-- Tiles --> <!-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId> <artifactId>tiles-core</artifactId> <version>${tiles.version}</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId> <artifactId>tiles-template</artifactId> <version>${tiles.version}</version> <scope>compile</s...

How to implement Cache Aside Pattern with Spring?

Problem You want to boost application performance by loading data from a cache and prevent the network trip to the persistent store (and also the query execution). This can be achieved by loading data from a cache. However, you want to load data on demand or lazily. Also, you want the application to control the cache data management – loading, eviction, and retrieval. Forces Improve performance by loading data from cache lazily. Application code controls cache data management. The underlying caching system does not provide read-through, write-through/write-behind strategies (strange really ??). Solution Use cache aside design pattern to solve the problems outlined above. This is also one of many caching patterns/strategies. I believe it is named in this because aside from managing the data store, application code is responsible for managing the cache also. Let's now try to understand how this caching technique works and then explore how it solves the proble...
