Common Spring Boot Interview Questions

Q: Explain Spring's dependency injection and different types

A: DI provides dependencies to classes instead of classes creating them. Types: Constructor injection (recommended, immutable), Setter injection (optional dependencies), Field injection (not recommended, hard to test). Use @Autowired, @Inject, or constructor. Spring manages bean lifecycle and dependency resolution.

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

A: All are stereotype annotations for Spring component scanning. @Component: generic component. @Service: business logic layer. @Repository: data access layer, adds exception translation. Functionally similar but convey intent. @Controller for web layer. Help organize code and enable layer-specific features.

Q: Explain Spring Boot auto-configuration

A: Auto-configuration automatically configures Spring application based on classpath dependencies. Uses @Conditional annotations to enable beans. Example: if H2 on classpath, auto-configures DataSource. Override with application.properties or custom @Configuration. View auto-configuration report with --debug. Reduces boilerplate configuration.

Q: What are Spring Data JPA repositories and how do they work?

A: Spring Data JPA creates repository implementations automatically. Extend JpaRepository<Entity, ID> for CRUD methods. Query methods: findByName, findByAgeGreaterThan (method name parsing). Custom queries: @Query annotation. Pagination, sorting included. Reduces boilerplate DAO code.
