These tutorials are great learning materials for those who are new to this popular Java framework. I'll help you understand the core components of Spring framework, and then Spring Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP). For web development, you will be introduced with Spring MVC that greatly simplifies programming with Model-View-Controller paradigm. 

You will also learn the differences between the Spring framework and Spring Boot, and how to install Spring Tool Suite as IDE for developing Spring-based projects.

 

2. Spring Dependency Injection:

Dependency injection is a core feature of the Spring framework, powered by the Spring IoC (Inversion of Control) container. The following articles will guide you learn various types of dependency injection configuration supported by Spring: XML, Annotations and Java configuration.

 

3. Common Spring Annotations:



Spring framework provides various annotations that help developers writing code more easily and quickly, compared to the heavy XML configurations in the beginning days. Check the following posts to understand the common Spring annotations which you'll be using the most:

 

4. Spring Configurations:

In the following posts, you'll learn how to enable Spring MVC via XML configuration in web deployment descriptor file, as well as programmatic configuration by writing Java code. I'll also show examples about loading multiple Spring bean configuration files, and how to read bind properties in configuration file to Spring bean fields.

6. Spring Data JPA Tutorials:

Spring Data JPA makes it easy to code data access layer that follows Java Persistence API (JPA) with Hibernate framework is an implementation. The following guides will help you get started with Spring Data JPA with an introductory tutorial, and how to work with EntityManager. You'll also learn how to develop a Spring MVC application with CRUD functionality using Spring Data JPA.

 

7. Spring MVC Tutorials:

You can use Spring MVC to create Java web applications that rely on Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm. The following tutorials will help you understand the core and basics of Spring MVC, then you learn to create, build and run your first Spring MVC project with Spring Tool Suite IDE. Furthermore, you'll learn handling form submission and validate form fields with Spring MVC. More advanced, I'll share some sample projects about sending emails with Spring MVC. The tips about coding Spring MVC controller are also worth checking.

 

8. Spring MVC View Tutorials:

In the following articles, you'll learn how to use Spring MVC View to implement XML, Excel and PDF document view/download functionality. I'll also share how to configure Spring MVC to bypass some certain URL patterns (view resolution).

 

9. Spring MVC File Upload & Download:

Check the following tutorials to learn about implementing file upload and download functionality with Spring MVC. You'll also learn how to generate a CSV document which can be downloaded by the end users, with Apache POI and JExcel libraries.

 

10. Spring Security Tutorials:

The Spring platform is designed with security in mind. You can use Spring Security APIs to secure your Java applications following best security practices and industry standards. The following articles are just introductory to Spring Security, so it's recommend to check the full Spring article list in the last link below:

 

11. Spring Integration with other frameworks:

In the following guides, I will help you understand how to integrate Spring framework with Hibernate and Struts frameworks in a single application. You can use both Spring and Hibernate in one application; both Spring and Struts in one application; or Spring, Hibernate and Struts in one application. Both XML and Java-based configuration are covered, which helps you see the differences and have choices.

Note that this integration between Spring and other frameworks are done without Spring Boot - just plan Spring framework.

 

12. Miscellaneous Spring Articles:

In the following articles, you'll learn how to create a Spring MVC project using either Maven tool in command line, or Eclipse IDE. I'll also share how to handle exceptions and use log4j in Spring MVC applications.

 

13. Spring Tutorial Videos on YouTube:

In addition to the written tutorials listed on this page, you can also watch videos to see the coding in action on CodeJava's  YouTube channel. Below are some playlists which you can get started with:
