What is Spring Framework configuration?

Can you explain what Spring Framework configuration is?

Spring Framework configuration refers to the way you set up and manage the components of a Spring application, including beans, services, and their dependencies.

What are the different ways to configure a Spring application?

There are several ways to configure a Spring application: using XML configuration files, Java-based configuration with @Configuration classes, and annotation-based configuration with @Component and @Autowired.

Which configuration method is recommended?

Java-based configuration is often recommended for its type safety and ease of refactoring, but the choice depends on your project needs.

Can you give an example of Java-based configuration?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {
    @Bean
    public MyService myService() {
        return new MyService();
    }
}
