Mastering Spring Framework Fundamentals - Using the Annotation-based Application Context

The video tutorial explains how to configure Spring containers using XML and non-XML methods. It begins with an overview of XML-based configuration and then transitions to a non-XML approach by removing XML files. The tutorial covers different application contexts available in Spring, including file-based, classpath-based, and annotation-based contexts. Finally, it focuses on annotation-based configuration, highlighting its advantages and how to implement it using component scanning.

• To configure network settings

• To handle user authentication

• To manage database connections

• To define beans and their dependencies

Which of the following is NOT an application context type mentioned for Spring container creation?

• Classpath-based context

• Annotation-based context

What is the main advantage of using annotation-based configuration in Spring?

• It eliminates the need for XML files

• It requires less memory

• It improves application speed

• It enhances security features

In annotation-based configuration, what is the role of component scanning?

• To manage database connections

• To enhance security protocols

• To optimize memory usage

• To find and register beans automatically

Which method is used to specify base packages in annotation-based configuration?
