Spring Boot: Update Operation in New Thread

Question

I have customDao as below in my springboot app,

@Component
public class CustomDao {

    private final JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate

    @Autowired
    private PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager;

    def logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.class);
    @Autowired
    public CustomDao(JdbcTemplate template) {
        this.jdbcTemplate = template
    }


    public insertRecord(sql,params){
        //insert
    }

    public updateRecord(sql,params){
       //update
    }
}

And am trying to make only update operation asynchronously in a new Thread, I havent worked much on Threads, can someone please help me with this?

Check this article for gentle introduction what you could do with Spring's @Async annotation. — zloster

You may modify your updateRecord method to this:

public void updateRecord(sql, params) {
    Thread t = new Thread() {
        //Your code to update here
    }
    t.start();
}

Thread t = new Thread() {...} will create a new thread to do the specified work and t.start() will run the thread in the background.

But he will also need the ThreadLocals from the original thread. Spring stores there some important stuff. Also it is better to use some form of thread pool. The current approach will quickly become "expensive".

@zloster could you please provide your answer with Thread pool and ThreadLocals

@RanPaun See this answer for the ThreadLocals - depending on the code base you may or may not need them. About the ThreadPool: you specify @Async("customThreadPoolExecutor") and define the configuration of the customTHreadPoolExecutor.

One other thing for the ThreadPool: you can specify the default executor for these @Async tasks: <task:annotation-driven executor="myExecutor" />. Credit goes to this answer: stackoverflow.com/a/19144306/25429

You should use @Async to handle asynchronous tasks into Spring. You can find an example here.
