- Filters are called before a request hits the DispatcherServlet. They allow for interception-style, chained processing of web requests for security, timeouts, and other purposes.
- Filters are used with a checksum algorithm that will filter invalid bytes out of a byte stream request body and allow for processing of HTTP requests from the DispatcherRequestServlet.
- Filters are used with a checksum algorithm that will filter invalid bytes out of an octet stream a multipart upload and allow for chained processing of WebDispatcherServlet requests.
- Filters are used to validate request parameters out of the byte stream request body and allow for processing of requests from the DispatcherRequestServlet.

- A resource is the actual String literal that composes a URI that is accessed on a RESTful web service.
- It is an abstract concept that represents a typed object, data, relationships, and a set of methods that operate on it that is accessed via a URI.

Q66. What is the output from invoking this Actuator endpoint in an unmodified Spring Boot application generated using Spring Intializr?

- The Spring Boot app would begin shutting down.
Reason: By default, all the endpoints are enabled in Spring Boot Application except /shutdown; this is, naturally, part of the Actuator endpoints.

- Constructor injection overrides setter injection.
- Setter injection creates a new instance if any modification occurs.
- You can't use constructor injection for partial injection.
- Constructor injection is more flexible than setter injection.
[Explanation] There are many key differences between constructor injection and setter injection.
Partial dependency: can be injected using setter injection but it is not possible by constructor. Suppose there are 3 properties in a class, having 3 arg constructor and setters methods. In such case, if you want to pass information for only one property, it is possible by setter method only. Overriding: Setter injection overrides the constructor injection. If we use both constructor and setter injection, IOC container will use the setter injection. Changes: We can easily change the value by setter injection. It doesn't create a new bean instance always like constructor. So setter injection is flexible than constructor injection.

- The CrudRepository extends the PagingAndSortingRepository, while the JpaRepository does not.
- The CrudRepository exposes a superset of interface methods containing every datastore-specific method supported by Spring data. The JpaRepository contains only those specific to Spring Data JPA.
- The CrudRepository is a base interface within Spring Data core that exposes a dedicated set of functions. The JpaRepository is a store-specific interface that exposes functionality specific to JPA.
- The CrudRepository is part of the Java EE API, while JpaRepository is specific to Spring Data.
