JWT stands for JSON Web Token. JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. The client will need to authenticate with the server using the credentials only once. During this time the server validates the credentials and returns the client a JSON Web Token(JWT). For all future requests the client can authenticate itself to the server using this JSON Web Token(JWT) and so does not need to send the credentials like username and password.

For applications to use auto-configuration, component scans, and extra configurations, one can include one single annotation @SpringBootApplication. This annotation includes three annotations @EnableAutoConfiguration, @ComponentScan, and @Configuration.
@EnableAutoConfiguration – enable Spring Boot’s auto-configuration
@ComponentScan – this allows scanning the packages where the application is located.
@Configuration – allow registering extra beans in the context or import additional configuration classes.

By default, the Spring Boot application runs on HTTP port. To make your application run with HTTPS port, there are two ways.
One can use server.port, server.ssl.key-store-password,server.ssl.key-store ,server.ssl.key-store-type and server.ssl.key-alias.
Another way to use the HTTPS port is programmatically.

Spring Boot Actuator can provide that information, through HTTP or JMX endpoints. Alternatively, you can start-up your Spring Boot application with the "--debug" flag.

The simplest way to deploy your Spring Boot application is as a .jar file with an embedded servlet container, to any server or platform that has a JRE installed.
For organizational and historical reasons, you can also deploy your Spring Boot application as a .war file, into an existing servlet container or application server.
Last but not least, you can, of course, also put your .jar file into a Docker image and even deploy those with Kubernetes.

This is because Spring Boot does some dependency management for you.
On a high-level, Spring Boot starters pull-in a parent pom.xml file (or a build.gradle file) which has all the dependencies and respective versions defined that a specific Spring Boot version supports - a so-called bill of materials. You can then simply use those pre-defined versions, or override the version numbers in your own build scripts.
You can find the list of all currently supported 3rd party libraries and versions in the spring-boot-dependencies project.

You can create new Spring Boot projects through the Spring Initializr web application or the Spring Boot CLI. Interestingly enough, Spring Initializr is not just a website where you can generate project skeleton .zip files. It is also an API, that you can programmatically call. All major IDEs (Spring Tool Suite, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, Netbeans and VSCode) directly integrate with it, so that you can create new Spring Boot projects right out of your IDE.
As for starters, you need to read the documentation and have a bit of experience. If working with a web application, you will start with spring-boot-starter-web and then add the appropriate starter from the documentation, once you want to include a certain technology. After a while, you will get a good feel for what starters you need for which technologies.

Starters are an arrangement of advantageous reliance descriptors that you can incorporate into your application. The starters contain a considerable amount of the dependencies that you have to get a task up and running rapidly and with a steady, supported a set of managed transitive conditions.
The starter POMs are helpful reliance descriptors that can be added to your application’s Maven. In another word, if you are building up a project that utilizes Spring Batch for batch preparing, you need to incorporate spring-boot-starter-bunch that will import all the required conditions for the Spring Batch application. This decreases the burden of looking at and designing all of the conditions required for a structure.

Spring Data REST is not recommended in real-world applications as you are exposing your database entities directly as REST Services. While designing RESTful services, the two most important things that we consider is the domain model and the consumers. But, while using Spring Data REST, none of these parameters are considered. The entities are directly exposed. So, I would just say, you can use Spring Data REST, for the initial evolution of the project.

When we use the Spring Boot Auto Configuration, automatically the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency gets added to the pom.xml file. Now, since this dependency has a transitive dependency on JPA and Hibernate, Spring Boot automatically auto-configures Hibernate as the default implementation for JPA, whenever it sees Hibernate in the classpath.

The advantages of the YAML file than a properties file is that the data is stored in a hierarchical format. So, it becomes very easy for the developers to debug if there is an issue. The SpringApplication class supports the YAML file as an alternative to properties whenever you use the SnakeYAML library on your classpath. The different ways to load a YAML file in Spring Boot is as follows:
1. Use YamlMapFactoryBean to load YAML as a Map
2. Use YamlPropertiesFactoryBean to load YAML as Properties

When developing applications for the enterprise, we typically deal with multiple environments such as Dev, QA and Prod. The configuration properties for these environments are different.
For example, we might be using an embedded H2 database for Dev, but Prod could have the proprietary Oracle or DB2. Even if the DBMS is the same across environments, the URLs would definitely be different.
To make this easy and clean, Spring has the provision of profiles to help separate the configuration for each environment. So, instead of maintaining this programmatically, the properties can be kept in separate files such as application-dev.properties and application-prod.properties. The default application.properties points to the currently active profile using spring.profiles.active so that the correct configuration is picked up.

Example for ReadOnly as TRUE in transaction management could be as follows: Consider a scenario, where you have to read data from the database. For example, let us say you have a customer database, and you want to read the customer details such as customerID, and customername. To do that, you will set read-only on the transaction as we do not want to check for the changes in the entities.

The major strong point in Spring is to provide flexibility to build your application loosely coupled. Spring provides features to disable the web server in a quick configuration.

The primary annotations that Spring Boot offers reside in its org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure and its sub-packages.
Here are a couple of basic ones:
@EnableAutoConfiguration – to make Spring Boot look for auto-configuration beans on its classpath and automatically apply them
@SpringBootApplication – to denote the main class of a Boot Application. This annotation combines @Configuration, @EnableAutoConfiguration and @ComponentScan annotations with their default attributes.

Relaxed binding, is a way in which, the property name does not need to match the key of the environment property. In Spring Boot, relaxed binding is applicable to the type-safe binding of the configuration properties.

a) sampleProp
b) sample-Prop
c) sample_Prop
d) SAMPLE_PROP
