VMware vRealize Automation 8.x (2022) — Question 13

Which two statements are correct when @SpringBootApplication is annotated on a class? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It causes Spring Boot to enable auto-configuration by default.
• B. Component scanning will start from the package of the class.
• C. All other annotations on the class will be ignored.
• D. Methods in the class annotated with @Bean will be ignored.
• E. A separate ApplicationContext will be created for each class annotated with @SpringBootApplication.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct as @SpringBootApplication indeed triggers auto-configuration by default. Option B is also correct since component scanning starts from the package of the class with the annotation. Options C, D, and E are incorrect as they misrepresent the behavior of the annotation; other annotations and methods with @Bean are not ignored, and only one ApplicationContext is created for the application.
