Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 04 - Comparing Prototype Versus Singleton - Spring Framework Bean Sc

The video tutorial explains the differences between prototype and Singleton bean scopes in Spring. Prototype beans create a new instance each time they are requested, while Singleton beans reuse the same instance. Singleton is the default scope if none is specified. Prototype beans are rarely used, with most Spring beans being singletons. Prototype beans are suitable for stateful applications, while Singleton beans are ideal for stateless applications. The tutorial also covers how to specify bean scopes using annotations.
