Spring Boot
Spring Boot
Ans: Spring Boot Actuator is a module that provides production-ready features to monitor and
manage your Spring Boot application. It offers various endpoints and metrics that can be used for
monitoring, health checks, auditing, and managing your application. The actuator exposes these
features via RESTful endpoints or JMX (Java Management Extensions) beans.
To enable Spring Boot Actuator in the application, we need to add the spring-boot-starter-
actuator dependency to your project.
3-Can you tell me how we can handle the exception in Spring boot?
Ans: Use @ExceptionHandler Spring Boot provides the @ExceptionHandler annotation to handle
exceptions thrown by a specific controller method. This annotation can be used to provide
customized error responses for specific exceptions.
4- Can you tell me what happens behind the scene in Spring boot auto
configuration?
Ans: Spring Boot auto-configuration attempts to automatically configure your Spring application
based on the jar dependencies that you have added. For example, if HSQLDB is on your classpath,
and you have not manually configured any database connection beans, then Spring Boot auto
configures an in-memory database.
When a method is annotated with @Transactional, Spring creates a proxy around the method, and all
the database operations within the method are executed within the context of a transaction. Spring
also takes care of starting the transaction before the method is invoked and committing the
transaction after the method returns, or rolling back the transaction in case of an exception.
Always consider the overall security of your application, especially in production, where more
robust solutions like OAuth2 might be more appropriate. With this guide, you should have a solid
foundation for adding API key and secret authentication to your Spring Boot applications.
