Description

REST is an architectural style that tackles the challenges of building scalable web services. In today’s connected world, APIs have taken a central role on the web. APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST has become synonymous with APIs. The depth, breadth, and ease of use of Spring makes it one of the most attractive frameworks in the Java ecosystem. Marrying the two technologies is therefore a very natural choice. This book takes you through the design of RESTful web services and leverages the Spring Framework to implement these services. Starting from the basics of the philosophy behind REST, you’ll go through the steps of designing and implementing an enterprise-grade RESTful web service. Taking a practical approach, each chapter provides code samples that you can apply to your own circumstances. This book goes beyond the use of Spring and explores approaches to tackle resilience, security, and scalability concerns. You’ll learn techniques to deal with security in Spring and discover how to implement unit and integration test strategies. Finally, the book ends by walking you through building a Java client for your RESTful web service, along with some scaling techniques for it.

Who is this book for?

This book is intended for those who want to learn to build RESTful web services with the Spring Framework. To make best use of the code samples included in the book, you should have a basic knowledge of the Java language. Previous experience with the Spring Framework would also help you get up and running quickly.

This is a very information dense book. I was prepared to be disappointed when it arrived because it was so thin. I was instead very pleased. The book is a walkthrough of a little RESTful web services application automating a hotel booking agency. The code examples downloadable from PACKT Published have all worked without any bugs and I have found only one insignificant typo in the book. Highly recommend.

The book is great for quick read before an interview for rest web services as it touches on the main concepts of code modularization, scaling, caching and security, implementing clients and server side code. You need to know spring but it's gives you a complete picture of all the moving parts. Also recommended if you are new to rest web services and are assigned to a development team that is implementing them.

I was really pleased with the pace of the book that the breath of knowledge on how to use Spring's RESTful web service. It had a really good example application. I've been creating and maintaining RESTful web services for over 4 years now and this book has expanded even my knowledge.

This is an excellent introduction to building web services with the Spring framework. I have built web services before but not with Spring so this was a easy way to get introduced to all of its facets. The book walks the reader through the thought process of building a web service and sample code is a nice compliment. The chapters on performance and security stand out as these are what most developers leave out completely or don't think of until the end of the development cycle.The sample code is well written and helps the reader to gain some real world knowledge on how to approach creating web services. This is a introductory book so it will give you the full foundations. It also has a section on scaling web services along with complimentary technologies like Redis and Hazelcast which helps to introduce the reader to thinking more about the architecture and infrastructure rather than focusing just on the application.An excellent book all round.

Overall the book strikes a great balance in both it’s length and content. The problem with many tutorials/books is that they either give you so little information that in real “enterprise” situations you are completely lost or the information provided is so in depth you both can’t understand and lose interest.Topics covered are diverse and each is gently introduced and implemented in the demo hotel property management system.Testing, performance, build tools, security, scaling and client applications are all covered. This will not leave you an expert in all these areas but gives a great overview and I have found myself coming back to the book as a reference.
