@ComponentScan
- Scans for Spring components (e.g., @Component, @Service, @Repository).

@Bean
- Declares a Spring-managed bean inside a @Configuration class.

@PropertySource
- Loads properties from external files into Springs Environment.

2. Component Scanning and Dependency Injection


@Component
- Marks a class as a Spring component.

@Service
- Specialized @Component for service-layer beans.

@Repository
- Specialized @Component for DAO layer.

@Autowired
- Injects a bean automatically.

@Qualifier
- Specifies which bean to inject when multiple exist.

@Primary
- Marks a bean as the primary choice for dependency injection.

3. Web and REST API Annotations


@RequestMapping
- Maps HTTP requests to handler methods.

@GetMapping
- Handles GET requests.

@PostMapping
- Handles POST requests.

@PutMapping
- Handles PUT requests.

@DeleteMapping
- Handles DELETE requests.

@RequestParam
- Extracts query parameters.

@PathVariable
- Extracts a URI path variable.

@RequestBody
- Converts request JSON to Java object.

@ResponseBody
- Converts Java object to JSON response.

4. Data Access and JPA Annotations


@Entity
- Marks a class as a JPA entity.

@Table(name='table_name')
- Specifies the table name for an entity.

@Id
- Marks a field as the primary key.

@GeneratedValue
- Auto-generates primary key values.

@Column(name='column_name')
- Maps an entity field to a database column.

@OneToOne / @OneToMany / @ManyToOne / @ManyToMany


- Defines relationships between entities.

5. Spring Boot Security Annotations


@EnableWebSecurity
- Enables Spring Security.

@PreAuthorize
- Restricts access based on roles.

@Secured
- Restricts access to specific roles.

@RolesAllowed
- Restricts method access to specified roles.

6. Transaction Management Annotations


@Transactional
- Defines a transaction boundary for methods or classes.

@Rollback
- Rolls back transactions in test cases.

@EnableTransactionManagement
- Enables transaction management in Spring Boot.

7. Spring Boot Testing Annotations


@SpringBootTest
- Loads the complete Spring Boot application context for testing.

@WebMvcTest
- Loads only the web layer for testing controllers.

@DataJpaTest
- Loads only the JPA-related components for database testing.

@MockBean
- Mocks a Spring bean for testing.

8. Spring Boot Actuator & Monitoring


@EnableAutoConfiguration
- Enables automatic configuration.

@ConditionalOnClass
- Configures beans only if a specific class is present.

@ConditionalOnProperty
- Configures beans based on property values.

@RefreshScope
- Enables runtime property refresh.
