Overview of this book

Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern that allows us to remove the hard-coded dependencies and make our application loosely coupled, extendable, and maintainable. We can implement DI to move the dependency resolution from compile-time to runtime. This book will be your one stop guide to write loosely coupled code using the latest features of Java 9 with frameworks such as Spring 5 and Google Guice. We begin by explaining what DI is and teaching you about IoC containers. Then you’ll learn about object compositions and their role in DI. You’ll find out how to build a modular application and learn how to use DI to focus your efforts on the business logic unique to your application and let the framework handle the infrastructure work to put it all together. Moving on, you’ll gain knowledge of Java 9’s new features and modular framework and how DI works in Java 9. Next, we’ll explore Spring and Guice, the popular frameworks for DI. You’ll see how to define injection keys and configure them at the framework-specific level. After that, you’ll find out about the different types of scopes available in both popular frameworks. You’ll see how to manage dependency of cross-cutting concerns while writing applications through aspect-oriented programming. Towards the end, you’ll learn to integrate any third-party library in your DI-enabled application and explore common pitfalls and recommendations to build a solid application with the help of best practices, patterns, and anti-patterns in DI.

Aspect-Oriented Programming and Interceptors

So far, we have learned about the concept of dependency injection and its implementation in popular frameworks, such as Spring and Google Guice. We also learned how to control the object creation process by scoping beans based on business requirements. In this chapter, we will learn another way of implementing separation of concerns: aspect-oriented programming (AOP).

AOP solves a different portion of the design problem by isolating repeated code from the application and plugging it in dynamically. AOP, along with Inversion of Control (IoC), brings modularity to the application. AOP helps in organizing your application in layer fashion, which would be impossible in the traditional object-oriented approach.

AOP permits you to intercept the flow of business code and straightforwardly inject a set of functionalities, without...
