  • Q2. What are the various access specifiers in Java?
  • Ans. 

    Access specifiers in Java control the visibility of classes, methods, and variables.

    • Protected: accessible within the same package and subclasses.

    • Default: accessible only within the same package.

    Data encapsulation is the concept of bundling data with the methods that operate on that data, restricting access to the data from outside the bundle.

    • Data encapsulation is a fundamental principle of object-oriented programming.

    • It allows for the data to be hidden and only accessed through the defined methods.

    • Encapsulation helps in achieving data security and prevents accidental modification of data.

  • Q5. Can static methods be overridden?
  • Ans. 

    No, static methods cannot be overridden in Java.

    • Static methods belong to the class itself, not to any specific instance of the class.

    • Subclasses can have static methods with the same signature as the parent class, but they are not considered overridden.

    • Example: Parent class has a static method 'display()', and subclass also has a static method 'display()'. These are two separate methods, not an override.

    • Improves code reusability and maintainability

    • Examples: Constructor injection, Setter injection, Interface injection

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What is the purpose of using @ComponentScan in class files?
  • Ans. 

    @ComponentScan is used in class files to enable component scanning for Spring beans.

    • Reduces the need for manual bean registration in configuration files

    • Can specify base packages to scan for components, or use default behavior to scan the current package and its sub-packages

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Can we override or replace the embedded Tomcat server in Spring Boot?
  • Ans. 

    Yes, we can override or replace the embedded Tomcat server in Spring Boot.

    • Spring Boot allows for customization of embedded servers by excluding the default server dependency and adding a different server dependency.

    • For example, to replace Tomcat with Jetty, exclude Tomcat and add Jetty dependencies in the pom.xml file.

    • Configuration properties can also be used to customize the embedded server in Spring Boot applications

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What is the starter dependency of the Spring Boot module?
  • Ans. 

    The starter dependency of the Spring Boot module is spring-boot-starter.

    • The starter dependency provides a set of common dependencies for a specific type of application.

  • Q6. What are the concurrency strategies available in Hibernate?
  • Ans. 

    Hibernate provides optimistic and pessimistic concurrency control strategies.

    • Optimistic concurrency control: Uses versioning or timestamp to check for concurrent updates.

    • Pessimistic concurrency control: Locks the database records to prevent concurrent updates.

    • Examples: @Version annotation for optimistic concurrency, LockMode.UPGRADE for pessimistic concurrency.
