Step 3 - Include Twitter Bootstrap CSS

I have splitted this into multiple post as I want the readers to take this easy paced and not rushed. I have an index.jsp which is not redirecting to the index.html. I will take care of this later. Now we need to setup Twitter Bootstrap CSS - currently the most comprehensive and best CSS framework / library available.I am using the latest version 2.1.1. The css, images and js are placed in the webapp/assets folder of the Maven web project. This is shown in figure 1 below.

Figure 1 - Bootstrap CSS

Step 4 - Create controller

Now quickly create a controller class as shown in listing below:

/**
 *
 */
package com.effectivcrm.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

/**
 * @author Dhrubo
 * 07-Sep-2012
 */
@Controller
public class GuestController {

    @RequestMapping(value="/index")
    public String gotoSignIn(){
        return "signin";
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/authentication")
    public String authentication(){
        return "home";
    }
}

Keeping the bigger goal of modularitly I have already setup the dispatcher servlet to load Spring configuration file by scanning the classpath. This can be noted in the web.xml configuration. Also later I will move the assets and controller to separate jars to achieve this.

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...
