Question Bank
Spring Core

1. What is Spring Framework?

Spring is a comprehensive framework for Java-based enterprise applications, providing support for
dependency injection, aspect-oriented programming, transaction management, and more.

2. What is Dependency Injection (DI) in Spring?

DI is a design pattern that allows the inversion of control, where the framework handles object creation
and dependencies.

3. What are the two types of DI in Spring?

Constructor-based and setter-based dependency injection.

4. What is Inversion of Control (IoC)?

IoC is a principle where the control of object creation and management is transferred from the
application code to the Spring framework.

5. What is a Spring Bean?

A Spring Bean is an object managed by the Spring IoC container.

6. What is the default scope of a Spring Bean?

Singleton.

7. How do you define a Spring Bean in XML configuration?

By using the <bean> tag with id and class attributes.

8. What is @Component in Spring?

@Component is an annotation to indicate that a class is a Spring-managed bean.

9. What does @Autowired do?

@Autowired automatically injects dependencies into a bean.

10. What is the difference between @Component and @Bean?

@Component is used for auto-detection and auto-wiring, while @Bean is used in Java configuration for
explicit bean declaration.

11. What is the role of ApplicationContext in Spring?

ApplicationContext is the Spring IoC container that manages beans and their dependencies.

12. What is @Configuration in Spring?

@Configuration indicates that a class contains bean definitions for the Spring IoC container.

13. How do you enable component scanning in Spring?

By using @ComponentScan annotation.

14. What is @Scope used for?

@Scope defines the scope of a Spring bean (e.g., singleton, prototype).

15. What is the prototype scope in Spring?

In prototype scope, a new bean instance is created each time it is requested.

16. What is Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)?

AOP is a programming paradigm that allows separation of cross-cutting concerns (e.g., logging,
transactions).
17. What is a JoinPoint in AOP?

A JoinPoint is a point in the program execution, such as a method execution or object creation.

18. What is a PointCut in AOP?

A PointCut is an expression that matches JoinPoints to apply advice.

19. What is advice in Spring AOP?

Advice is the action taken at a JoinPoint, such as before, after, or around a method execution.

20. What is the purpose of @Transactional in Spring?

@Transactional is used to manage transactions declaratively.

21. What is Spring's BeanPostProcessor?

BeanPostProcessor is an interface that allows custom logic before and after Spring bean initialization.

22. What is @Qualifier used for?

@Qualifier is used to resolve ambiguity when multiple beans of the same type exist.

23. What is Spring's FactoryBean?

FactoryBean is a special bean that allows customization of bean creation logic.

24. What is the difference between ApplicationContext and BeanFactory?

ApplicationContext is a more advanced container that supports additional features like event
propagation and internationalization, while BeanFactory is a simpler, more basic container.

25. What is Spring's Proxy pattern used for?

It is used in AOP to apply advice to a target method execution.

Spring Boot
