Final Exam: Spring Basics

• apply autowiring to the beans created from a class using the Autowired annotation
• apply Hibernate APIs to persist the data in Java objects to a relational database
• apply the Autowired annotation to the setters and constructors of a bean class
• configure a pointcut using the within designator in order to map to join points within a class or package

• create a custom annotation in order to explicitly define the methods that must match a pointcut
• create an ApplicationContext instance to provision and inject beans
• create a project where aspects can be configured with an XML file
• define a class whose members will serve as the composite key for an entity in an application
• define a method that can be set as an aspect in a Java application
• define entities in an application that have a one-to-one relationship with one another
• define pointcuts in your application that apply to methods in multiple classes
• describe Spring framework and recognize how it can help Java developers
• describe the features available in the Spring framework to implement dependency injection
• execute aspects after a method has executed successfully or when it throws an exception

• recognize the concept of dependency injection and inversion of control
• recognize the different ways in which bean references can be set
• recognize what mechanisms are available to implement aspect-oriented programming in Java
• set aspects to run before and after certain methods in your application using before and after advices
• set methods to run after bean construction and before their destruction
• set the properties of a bean using tags in an XML file
• use Apache Maven to create a Java project that uses the Hibernate framework
