Spring Interview Questions Answers

The document discusses Spring Framework, including its core features, benefits, dependency injection types, and bean scopes. Spring Framework is a lightweight Java application development framework that allows for inversion of control (IOC) and aspect-oriented programming (AOP). It supports dependency injection and manages object lifecycles and configurations. Spring also includes aspects like MVC framework, transaction management, and exception handling.

1. What is spring framework?

Answer->

Spring Framework is a powerful lightweight application development framework used for Enterprise Java (JEE).

The core features of the Spring Framework can be used in developing any Java application. It can be described as complete and modular framework.
The Spring Framework can be used for all layer implementations of a real time application. It can also be used for the development of particular layer
of a real time application unlike Struts and Hibernate, but with Spring we can develop all layers.
2.What are the benefits of Spring:
 Lightweight: Spring Framework is lightweight with respect to size and transparency.
 Inversion Of Control (IOC): In Spring Framework, loose coupling is achieved using Inversion of Control. The objects give their own
dependencies instead of creating or looking for dependent objects.
 Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP): By separating application business logic from system services, Spring Framework supports Aspect
Oriented Programming and enables cohesive development.
 Container: Spring Framework creates and manages the life cycle and configuration of application objects.
 MVC Framework: Spring Framework is a MVC web application framework. This framework is configurable via interfaces and
accommodates multiple view technologies.
 Transaction Management: For transaction management, Spring framework provides a generic abstraction layer. It is not tied to J2EE
environments and it can be used in container-less environments.
 JDBC Exception Handling: The JDBC abstraction layer of the Spring Framework offers an exception hierarchy, which simplifies the error
handling strategy.

3. How many types of dependencies?


 Setter Injection:

Setter-based DI is realized by calling setter methods on your beans after invoking a no-argument constructor or no-argument static factory method to instantiate
your bean.

 Constructor Injection:

Constructor-based DI is realized by invoking a constructor with a number of arguments, each representing a collaborator.

5. What is the difference between Bean Factory and application context?


Before seeing difference between ApplicationContext and BeanFactory, let see some similarity between both of them. Spring provides two kinds
of IOC container, one is BeanFactory and other is ApplicationContext. Syntactically BeanFactory and ApplicationContext both are Java
interfaces and ApplicationContext extends BeanFactory. Both of them are configuration using XML configuration file. In short
BeanFactory provides basic IOC and DI features while ApplicationContext provides advanced features. Apart from these, Here are few more
difference between BeanFactory and ApplicationContext which is mostly based upon features supported by them.

Bean Factory
 Bean instantiation/wiring
Application Context
 Bean instantiation/wiring

 Automatic BeanPostProcessor registration


 Automatic BeanFactoryPostProcessor registration
 Convenient MessageSource access (for i18n)

 ApplicationEvent publication
So if you need any of the points presented on the Application Context side, you should use ApplicationContext.
6.What is the bean lifecycle? And what are the scopes for the bean?

1. Spring Bean Scopes Type


In Spring, scope can be defined using spring bean @Scope annotation. Let’s quickly list down all six inbuilt bean scopes available to
use in spring application context. These same scope apply to spring boot bean scope as well.

SCOPE DESCRIPTION

singleton (defau
Single bean object instance per spring IoC container
lt)

prototype Opposite to singleton, it produces a new instance each and every time a bean is requested.

A single instance will be created and available during complete lifecycle of an HTTP request.
request

Only valid in web-aware Spring ApplicationContext.

session A single instance will be created and available during complete lifecycle of an HTTP Session.
Only valid in web-aware Spring ApplicationContext.

A single instance will be created and available during complete lifecycle of ServletContext.
application
Only valid in web-aware Spring ApplicationContext.

A single instance will be created and available during complete lifecycle of WebSocket.

Only valid in web-aware Spring ApplicationContext.

7.Difference between <bean id=””> and <bean name=””>?


The name attribute allows for multiple 'aliases' that becomes a collection of identifiers that
can be used to identify the bean whereas there can be only one id per container.

<bean id="myBeanID" name = "myBean1,myBean2,myBean2"


class="net.javapedia.bean.EmpBean">
