Spring Boot Interview Questions and Answers

Q: What is Spring Boot and how does it differ from Spring Framework?

A: Spring Boot is an extension of the Spring Framework that simplifies the setup, configuration, and

deployment of Spring applications. It provides defaults and reduces boilerplate code by using

conventions, embedded servers, and opinionated 'starter' dependencies.

Q: What is the purpose of the @SpringBootApplication annotation?

A: @SpringBootApplication is a composite annotation that combines @Configuration,

@EnableAutoConfiguration, and @ComponentScan. It sets up configuration, enables

auto-configuration, and scans for components, simplifying the setup of a Spring Boot application.

Q: Explain the core features of Spring Boot.

A: Core features include auto-configuration, embedded servers, Spring Boot starters,

production-ready features (like metrics and health checks), and easy dependency management.

Q: How does Spring Boot simplify dependency management?

A: Spring Boot provides a curated list of dependencies through starter POMs that bring in commonly

used libraries with a compatible version.

Q: What is an Application Context in Spring Boot?

A: An Application Context is a central interface in the Spring Framework that provides configuration

information to the application. It manages the lifecycle of beans and provides dependency injection.

Q: How does dependency injection work in Spring Boot?

A: Dependency injection in Spring Boot is facilitated through annotations like @Autowired, which

allows Spring to automatically provide the necessary dependencies to a class.

Q: What is an embedded server, and why is it useful in Spring Boot?


A: An embedded server (like Tomcat or Jetty) allows Spring Boot applications to run as standalone

applications without needing to deploy them to an external server, simplifying the development and

deployment process.

Q: What is a microservice, and how does Spring Boot facilitate microservice development?

A: A microservice is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely

coupled services. Spring Boot simplifies microservices development by providing a set of tools and

frameworks to build, configure, and deploy services easily.

Q: What is Spring Boot's ApplicationRunner and CommandLineRunner?

A: Both interfaces allow execution of code after the Spring application has started.

ApplicationRunner provides access to application arguments, while CommandLineRunner is a

simpler version.

Q: What is the difference between @Component, @Service, @Repository, and @Controller?

A: @Component is a generic stereotype for any Spring-managed component. @Service is for

service layer components, @Repository is for data access components, and @Controller is for web

controllers.

Q: Explain @Autowired and what types of injection it supports.

A: @Autowired is used for automatic dependency injection. It supports constructor injection, setter

injection, and field injection.

Q: What is @RestController and how is it different from @Controller?

A: @RestController is a specialized version of @Controller that automatically serializes responses

to JSON, making it suitable for REST APIs.

Q: Explain @RequestMapping and the various request methods supported.

A: @RequestMapping is used to map web requests to specific handler methods. It supports various
HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.

Q: What is @Bean and when would you use it over @Component?

A: @Bean is a method-level annotation used in @Configuration classes to define a bean explicitly,

while @Component is used for class-level scanning. Use @Bean when you need custom

instantiation logic.

Q: What is @Value and how is it used in Spring Boot?

A: @Value is used to inject values from property files into Spring beans, allowing for externalized

configuration.

Q: Explain @ConfigurationProperties and when it is useful.

A: @ConfigurationProperties binds external configuration properties (like from

application.properties) to a Java object, allowing for structured access to configuration settings.
