Mastering Spring Framework Fundamentals - Adding Component Scanning to Auto-detect Spring Managed Bean Annotations

The video tutorial explains how to configure the Spring container using XML and annotation-based methods. It introduces component scanning, context schema, and autowiring in Spring. The tutorial covers the use of annotations like @Autowired and @Component, and how to enable autowiring to automatically wire beans. It also discusses how to perform component scanning in XML files to create bean definitions based on Java packages.

What is the primary purpose of using XML-driven configuration in Spring?

• To replace annotations with XML

• To automate the process of bean creation

• To configure the Spring container using XML tags

• To manually write Java code for bean creation

What is the role of component scanning in Spring?

• To automatically detect and register beans with specific annotations

• To manually configure each bean

• To scan for XML files in the project

• To disable auto-wiring in the application

Which namespace is added to enable component scanning in Spring?

• spring-context

• spring-beans

• spring-data

• spring-core

What does the @Autowired annotation in Spring do?

• It manually wires beans together

• It disables component scanning

• It creates a new bean instance

• It automatically injects dependencies into beans

Which of the following is a key annotation used in Spring for component scanning?

• @Component

• @Repository

• @Entity

• @Service
