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...

Fail Fast and Fail Safe Iterator in Java

  The concepts of "fail-safe" and "fail-fast" are often discussed in the context of data structures and algorithms, particularly in Java programming. Let's understand what each concept means: Fail-Safe: Fail-safe refers to the property of a system or data structure that guarantees it will not fail, crash, or produce incorrect results, even when it encounters unexpected inputs or concurrent modifications. In the context of Java collections, a fail-safe iterator is an iterator that does not throw a ConcurrentModificationException if the collection is modified while it's being iterated. Instead, it operates on a copy of the original collection or uses some mechanism to handle concurrent modifications safely. For example, the Iterator returned by HashMap or ConcurrentHashMap in Java is fail-safe. If a collection is modified while an iterator is traversing it, the iterator will continue to operate on the original elements that were present when the iteration ...
