Chapter 7. Developing CRUD Operations and Validations
Until now, we have seen how to build the read-only HTTP methods of an API. These methods in Spring MVC Controllers required you to master, or at least understand the presentation of a few techniques. Developing non-readonly HTTP methods raises a new set of underlying topics. Each of these topics has a direct impact on the customer experience and therefore each of them is important. We introduce the following four recipes as a frame to cover the subject:
- Extending REST handlers to all HTTP methods
- Validating resources using bean validation support
- Internationalizing messages and contents for REST
- Validating client-side forms with HTML5 and AngularJS
