Is it possible to use spring like this?

Question

Java

Good afternoon! I'm just starting to learn spring, there was such a question. For example, I have an application that accesses the database, does it make sense to connect springframework only to work with the database?

Answer 1

Yes. And it makes sense to take SpringBoot, because. there is so much "syntactic sugar" that it will not be necessary to write a bunch of bolt-plate code. :-)

Answer 2

It may be worth connecting ORM frameworks to work with the database. For example, Hibernate, EclipseLink, MyBatis, ormlite.
In fact, spring is a bean container (an implementation of IOC & DI). Accordingly, if you want to use DI in your application, you can use spring. Well, or another lib for DI (guice, dagger, etc.)
For example, if you are writing a JavaFX application, then there is a good lib for quick integration of spring

And just to work with the database, use hibernate + hikaricp bundle

Answer 3

Can.
But it's like buying a car to listen to the radio.
