18. Dependency Injection and Important Topics

Dependency Injection (DI)

● Definition: A design pattern used to achieve Inversion of Control (IoC).


● Benefits:
○ Improves modularity and testability.
○ Reduces tight coupling between components.

Types of Dependency Injection

1. Constructor Injection:
○ Dependencies are provided through the class constructor.
2. Setter Injection:
○ Dependencies are provided through setter methods.
3. Interface Injection:
○ Dependencies are provided through interfaces.

● Garbage Collection Basics
○ Mark-and-Sweep Algorithm

○ Stop-the-World Events
● Garbage Collector Types
○ Serial Collector
○ Parallel Collector
○ Concurrent Mark-Sweep (CMS) Collector
○ G1 (Garbage-First) Collector
● Garbage Collection Tuning and Optimization
○ JVM Command-Line Options (-Xms, -Xmx, -XX:+UseG1GC, etc.)
○ Monitoring Garbage Collection with JMX and JConsole
○ Profiling and Analyzing Garbage Collection Behavior
● Common Garbage Collection Issues
○ Memory Leaks
○ High CPU Utilization
○ Pauses and Latency
○ OutOfMemoryError Exceptions
● Best Practices for Efficient Garbage Collection

○ Garbage-First Garbage Collector (G1) Enhancements
Important Topics in Dependency Injection

● Bean Configuration: XML vs Annotation-based.


● Autowired Annotation: Automatically injects dependencies.
● Qualifier Annotation: Resolves conflicts when multiple beans are available.
● Scope of Beans: Singleton, Prototype, Request, Session, etc.
● Bean Lifecycle: Initialization and destruction callbacks.
● Circular Dependencies: How DI frameworks handle them.
