What are the advantages of Spring MVC over Spring Boot?

Advantages of Spring MVC over Spring Boot


Spring MVC is just a pattern that spring framework uses,if you are using spring framework, you are already following spring mvc pattern.
If you use spring framework and not following mvc architecture there is no point in using it.
So your question must be what are the advantages of spring framework over spring boot.
Answer is NONE.
Actually,Spring boot was introduced to get rid of problems that spring framework had.
Spring framework is just a skeleton version of all the spring components required to build an application,All the configuration required should be done by yourself.
On the other hand,Spring boot acts as a container for spring components in which you will get more features than traditional spring framework such as
1. Embedded Server
2. Auto Configuration
3. Health Check
4. Standalone fat jars and much more

You might be under the misunderstanding that Spring MVC and Spring Boot are different frameworks. Let's clear it for you!
Spring MVC
Spring MVC ( Model View Controller) is a module of the Spring Platform for application development.
It enables testing and resolving dependency injection issues after the application is created using the spring framework. It makes spring app development flexible and less complex.
Spring Boot
Spring Boot is also a part of the framework and includes Spring MVC to ease application development without any kind of configuration requirement.
Spring Boot is used for both WAR deployment and creation of standalone Java applications.

Dealing with Passwords in Java Applications: 5 Best Practices You Should Follow

 In modern Java applications—whether core Java applications or enterprise-level web applications—working with passwords is inevitable. Passwords are sensitive pieces of information, just like Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and if you’re handling real human data in systems such as online banking or healthcare portals, it’s critical to implement best practices for dealing with passwords securely. Below, I’ll share five essential best practices that I’ve learned and recommend for managing passwords, particularly when you are handling authentication and authorization. While these tips are a good starting point, be sure to tailor them to your application’s requirements and security policies. 1) Use SSL/TLS to Transfer Username and Password When users send passwords over the network, it is crucial to use SSL/TLS to encrypt the communication. This ensures that sensitive information is protected from eavesdroppers. Tools like LDAP and Active Directory are commonly used for storing usern...

JDK 25: The new features in Java 25

 Java Development Kit (JDK) 25, scheduled for release in September 2025, is set to introduce several significant enhancements. Here's an overview of the notable features: 1. Stable Values API (Preview): This feature introduces stable values—objects holding immutable data treated as constants by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). By allowing greater flexibility in initialization timing compared to final fields, stable values aim to improve application startup times. They enable performance optimizations akin to constant-folding, previously exclusive to JDK code, and ensure thread-safe, single-time initialization. This decouples the creation of stable values from their initialization without significant performance penalties.  2. Removal of 32-bit x86 Port: JDK 25 plans to eliminate both the source code and build support for the 32-bit x86 port, which was deprecated in JDK 24. Maintaining this port has become less beneficial, especially with the challenges in keeping it updated wit...
