The video tutorial explains how to use Spring without relying on Spring Boot. It begins by removing the Spring Boot starter dependency and addresses the resulting exceptions. The tutorial guides through setting up an application context using Java configuration and annotation config application context. It also covers component scanning and adding SLF4J dependencies. The tutorial concludes with a working Spring application without Spring Boot, encouraging viewers to explore further by migrating other applications.

What is the first step in using Spring without Spring Boot?

• Configuring Spring Boot application

• Removing Spring Boot starter dependency

• Adding Spring Boot starter dependency

• Using Spring Boot annotations

Why might you not see a compilation error after removing Spring Boot starter?

• Because Spring Boot starter is not important

• Because the application is already compiled

• Because Spring Boot starter test is still present

• Because Spring Boot is not needed

How do you initialize an application context in Spring without Spring Boot?

• Using Spring Boot starter

• Using Spring Boot annotations

• Using XML configuration

• Using AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

What is required to define a Spring configuration in Java?

• Using @Configuration

• Using @SpringBootApplication

• Using @SpringBootTest

• Using @SpringApplication

What additional dependency is needed to resolve the SLF4J error?

• SLF4J API

• Spring Core

• Spring Boot starter

• Spring Boot starter test

What does the @ComponentScan annotation do?

• Scans for components in the specified package

• Removes Spring Boot dependencies

• Initializes the application context

• Defines a Spring Boot application

What is encouraged as an exercise for students?

• To only use XML configuration

• To use Spring Boot for all applications

• To migrate applications to use Spring instead of Spring Boot

• To avoid using Spring altogether
