Bean Scopes

1. What is the Singleton scope in Spring?

Singleton scope means Spring creates only one instance of the


bean per container. This single instance is shared whenever the
bean is needed.

2. Is Singleton the default scope for Spring beans?

Yes, if you don't specify a scope, Spring uses Singleton by


default.

3. How do you define a bean as Singleton in Spring?

4. Are Singleton beans in Spring thread-safe?

No, Spring Singleton beans are not automatically thread-safe.


You need to handle thread safety yourself if the bean will be used
by multiple threads.

5. What is the Prototype scope in Spring?

Prototype scope means a new instance of the bean is created


every time it's requested from the container.

6. When should you use Prototype scope?

Use Prototype scope when you want a new instance each time,
like for stateful beans where each instance should have its own
data.

9. What are web-aware scopes in Spring?

Web-aware scopes are scopes that are only available in web


applications. They include request, session, and application
scopes.
Bean Scopes

10. What is the request scope?

In request scope, Spring creates a new instance of the bean for


each HTTP request. The bean lasts only for that request.

11. How does session scope work?

In session scope, Spring creates one instance of the bean per


user session. This instance lasts for the entire session.
Bean Scopes

12. What is the application scope?

Application scope is similar to Singleton, but for web


applications. One instance is created for the entire web
application and shared across all sessions.

13. How do you define a bean with request scope?

You can use the @Scope annotation:

14. Why do we need to specify a proxy mode for web-aware


scopes?

Proxy mode is needed because these scopes don't exist when


the application starts. The proxy stands in for the actual bean
until the proper scope (like a request) is available.
Bean Scopes

15. Can you create your own bean scope in Spring?

Yes, Spring allows you to create custom scopes by implementing


the Scope interface.
Bean Scopes

16. How do you implement a custom scope?

You need to create a class that implements the


org.springframework.beans.factory.config.Scope interface, then
register it with the container.
Bean Scopes

17. What methods do you need to implement for a custom


scope?

You need to implement get(), remove(),


registerDestructionCallback(), and getConversationId() methods.
Bean Scopes

18. How do you register a custom scope with Spring?

You can register a custom scope using the


ConfigurableBeanFactory's registerScope method:

19. When might you need to create a custom scope?

tied to a specific workflow.
