Understand Spring's type-based bean retrieval from the application context with getBean. Rely on type-based lookup to return a single bean and raise exceptions for multiple or none.
Explore the bean post processor extension in spring core, which hooks into bean lifecycle before and after initialization. Implement custom post processors to apply logic across all beans, enabling proxies.
Learn how spring's jdbc template returns results as simple types, generic maps, or user defined types via a row mapper, with json and xml not supported out of the box.
Discover how Spring Data reduces boilerplate and provides repository abstractions across relational, document, graph, and key-value stores, with implementations for MongoDB, Neo4j, and Redis.
Discover how to set HTTP status in Spring MVC: use @ResponseStatus for fixed codes or return a ResponseEntity for dynamic control, with 204 no content examples for put and delete.
Discover how rest template simplifies Spring rest client coding with convenience methods and automatic object mapping, while learning its synchronous limitations and how to use exchange for custom headers.
Explain Rest principles, including stateless architecture and using HTTP headers and status codes as a contract with clients, and enable caching to improve scalability.
Identify how the path variable annotation binds a URI path value to a method parameter in Spring MVC, demonstrated with endpoints like /accounts/{id} and tests validating the binding.
Understand spring mvc controller return types, including http headers, maps, and dto with response body. Avoid using request body on a return type and use response entity for control.
Learn how the active profiles annotation controls which bean definitions and profile-specific configurations, including property files, load during a Spring integration test.
Explore how spring security filters enforce authentication, logout, and authorization through a focused filter chain that precedes every request and protects endpoints.
Explore how Spring Boot auto configuration uses meta-inf spring factories and conditional annotations to activate beans. It ensures defaults only when no user beans exist.
Enable auto configuration automatically configures the application context based on classpath dependencies. It is a meta, composed annotation in the Spring Boot application that runs before user beans are registered.
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Are you ready to become a Spring Certified Professional?
This video‑based course is designed exclusively for candidates preparing for the VMware Spring Professional certification exam (2V0‑72.22). Instead of a general introduction to Spring, we walk you through real exam‑style questions, provide correct answers, and explain the concepts behind them. Each lecture follows a Q&A format: you’ll see the question, select your answer, and then watch an in‑depth breakdown of why the correct answer is right and why the others are wrong.
What you’ll experience:
Practice with multiple‑choice and multi‑select questions like in the real test
Detailed explanations of Spring core concepts, data management, MVC/REST, testing, security, and Spring Boot
Clear, concise concept reviews focusing on dependency injection, bean scopes, AOP, JDBC transactions, REST controllers, JUnit and MockMVC testing, Spring Security basics, and Spring Boot configuration
Regular knowledge checks to identify your strengths and the areas that need improvement.
The Spring Professional exam validates your ability to use Spring for enterprise Java applications. By mastering the exam’s key topics—Spring Core, Data Management, MVC, Testing, Security and Spring Boot—you’ll gain confidence to sit for the exam and demonstrate your proficiency to employers. Join us and start tackling exam‑style questions today—your certification success is just one course away.
