Running a Spring Boot application in a Docker container is a great way to package and deploy your application. By packaging your application in a Docker container, you can easily distribute it to other machines and ensure that it runs in the same environment on each machine. In this blog post, I will show you…

You will learn to create a Basic Authentication-secured REST API and access it via RestTemplate. What is Basic Authentication As the name suggests, it is a basic form of authentication in which we must provide the correct username…

What Is Inversion of Control (IoC)? Inversion of Control is a principle in software engineering that separates the control of objects or how parts of…
Read More Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control in SpringWhen developing Spring Boot applications, we need to tell the Spring Framework where to look for the custom code that we wrote. Using component scan is one method of asking Spring to detect the components of our application which Spring will then manage for us from Initialization to Execution. Spring needs the information to locate…

Whether it is a defined port number or a random port number. Let’s start learning how to get the running port number first. @LocalServerPort Annotation If your Spring Boot application is configured to start on…

You will use this annotation to write Integration Tests for your Spring Boot application. @SpringBootTest annotation is used to create a Spring Application Context that will be used during the test. It will make Spring Framework scan your application classes and look for different annotations. Depending…

In this tutorial, we will look at different ways you can use @MockBean annotation to create mocks. If you are testing your application with JUnit and Mockito, then there are many other useful tutorials you will find on the Testing Java Code…

Spring Security allowed customizing HTTP security by extending a WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class. This customization included user authorization, user authentication, etc. But in Spring Security 5.7.0-M2 the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter is deprecated. This is because Spring Framework developers encourage users to move…
