Module Learning & Hands-On Objectives

✓ Spring Boot 3 Overview — Opinionated Defaults, Embedded Servers & Zero-XML Philosophy — How Spring Boot wraps the Spring IoC Container (`ApplicationContext`) with opinionated Starter dependencies, Conditional Auto-Configuration, an embedded Tomcat/Jetty/Undertow server, and production-ready Actuator metrics.
✓ Spring Framework vs Spring MVC vs Spring Boot — IoC Container, `DispatcherServlet` & Auto-Setup — Clear architectural boundaries: **Spring Core** provides IoC & Dependency Injection; **Spring MVC** is the web module (`DispatcherServlet`, `@Controller`); **Spring Boot** auto-wires both with curated BOM versions and embedded servers.
✓ Spring Boot 4-Layer Architecture — Presentation, Business Service, Persistence & Database Flow — Strict separation of concerns: **1. Presentation Layer** (`@RestController`, HTTP/DTO validation), **2. Service Layer** (`@Service`, business rules & `@Transactional` boundaries), **3. Persistence Layer** (`@Repository`, JPA/JDBC), and **4. Database**.
✓ Core Spring Boot 3.4 Features — `SpringApplication`, `CommandLineRunner`, Profiles & Java 21 Virtual Threads — Customizing `SpringApplication` (`Banner.Mode`, `ApplicationRunner` / `CommandLineRunner` startup tasks, `ApplicationEvent` pub/sub), environment-specific `@Profile`, and enabling Project Loom **Java 21 Virtual Threads** with a single property!.
✓ Build, verify, and ship Module Capstone: Layered Course Catalog Engine with Constructor DI & Java 21 Virtual Threads.

How Spring Boot wraps the Spring IoC Container (`ApplicationContext`) with opinionated Starter dependencies, Conditional Auto-Configuration, an embedded Tomcat/Jetty/Undertow server, and production-ready Actuator metrics.

Subtopics Covered (8):
• SpringBootApplication & Opinionated auto-configuration • Core Syntax, CLI & Production APIs: @SpringBootApplication + SpringApplication.run(App.class, args) • Deep-Dive Mechanics: Embedded Tomcat 10.1 & Jakarta namespace migration • Advanced Patterns: ApplicationContext IoC container & Stand-alone executable JAR • Production Failure Mode & Pitfall Guard • Hands-On Live Coding Lab: Minimal Stand-Alone Spring Boot 3.4 Application & Bean Count Inspector • Idiomatic SPBT Implementation: constructor DI, Record DTOs, @Transactional boundaries & Resilience4j • Java 21 + Spring Boot 3 IoC & Hibernate 6 Persistence Context Execution & Memory Lifecycle for Spring Boot 3 Overview
▶ Day-1 Starting Topic of SPBT → What Topic Is Next: Next Topic 1.2: Spring Framework vs Spring MVC vs Spring Boot — IoC Container, `DispatcherServlet` & Auto-Setup

💡 Self-Explanatory Overview: In simple, everyday terms, Spring Boot 3 Overview — Opinionated Defaults, Embedded Servers & Zero-XML Philosophy teaches you how Springboot applications how Spring Boot wraps the Spring IoC Container (`ApplicationContext`) with opinionated Starter dependencies, Conditional Auto-Configuration, an embedded Tomcat/Jetty/Undertow server, and production-ready Actuator metrics. Even if you have never seen this concept before, your trainer explains the real-life problem first, writes clean Spring Boot 3.4, Java 21 Virtual Threads, Spring Web MVC & REST code live on screen, and shows what breaks in production if this step is skipped.

🎯 For What Purpose: To understand and apply Spring Boot 3 Overview — Opinionated Defaults, Embedded Servers & Zero-XML Philosophy in real Springboot systems — specifically: How Spring Boot wraps the Spring IoC Container (`ApplicationContext`) with opinionated Starter dependencies, Conditional Auto-Configuration, an embedded Tomcat/Jetty/Undertow server, and production-ready Actuator metrics, so your code stays reliable, fast, and easy to maintain in production.

  • • SpringBootApplication & Opinionated auto-configuration Purpose: How Spring Boot wraps the Spring IoC Container (`ApplicationContext`) with opinionated Starter dependencies, Conditional Auto-Configuration, an embedded Tomcat/Jetty/Undertow server, and production-ready Actuat...
  • • Core Syntax, CLI & Production APIs: @SpringBootApplication + SpringApplication.run(App.class, args) Purpose: Apply @SpringBootApplication + SpringApplication.run(App.class, args) idiomatically in real Springboot Training codebases with explicit parameter and return validation.
  • • Deep-Dive Mechanics: Embedded Tomcat 10.1 & Jakarta namespace migration Purpose: Spring Boot 3 requires **Java 17+** (Java 21 LTS recommended) and migrated all Java EE imports from `javax.*` to **`jakarta.*`** (Jakarta EE 10).
  • • Advanced Patterns: ApplicationContext IoC container & Stand-alone executable JAR Purpose: Complexity & performance profile: Boots a full embedded Tomcat 10.1 HTTP server in ~1.2 seconds on JDK 21 (or < 80 ms when compiled to a GraalVM Native Image!).
  • • Production Failure Mode & Pitfall Guard Purpose: Treating Spring Boot as a "separate replacement" for Spring Framework rather than an opinionated auto-configuration layer built ON TOP of Spring Framework 6 and Jakarta EE 10 (`jakarta.*` namespace)!.
  • • Hands-On Live Coding Lab: Minimal Stand-Alone Spring Boot 3.4 Application & Bean Count Inspector Purpose: Implement, dry-run, benchmark, and verify deterministic output plus edge-case recovery in your IDE.
  • • Idiomatic SPBT Implementation: constructor DI, Record DTOs, @Transactional boundaries & Resilience4j Purpose: Structure Spring Boot 3 Overview — Opinionated Defaults, Embedded Servers & Zero-XML Philosophy using constructor DI, Record DTOs, @Transactional boundaries & Resilience4j inside Springboot Training for clean,...
  • • Java 21 + Spring Boot 3 IoC & Hibernate 6 Persistence Context Execution & Memory Lifecycle for Spring Boot 3 Overview Purpose: Trace how Java 21 + Spring Boot 3 IoC & Hibernate 6 Persistence Context schedules, allocates, and reclaims resources during Spring Boot 3 Overview under concurrent load.

Core Spring Boot 3.4 Features — `SpringApplication`, `CommandLineRunner`, Profiles & Java 21 Virtual Threads — Actuator, Logs & MockMvc Lab Task

  • Implement CommandLineRunner / ApplicationRunner + spring.threads.virtual.enabled=true with constructor injection & immutable Java 21 records
  • Verify protection against Running blocking 30-second external HTTP calls inside a `CommandLineRunner.run()` without timeouts blocks the entire Spring Boot startup sequence from opening port `8080` and causes Kubernetes liveness probe restarts!
  • Submit your Java source class and verified output for trainer review
Hands-On Program Sample: Startup Verification Hook Using `ApplicationRunner` Bean CODE
@org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean
org.springframework.boot.ApplicationRunner verifyBoot() {
    return args -> System.out.println("Boot Ready | Java: " + Runtime.version().feature() + " | NonOptionArgs: " + args.getNonOptionArgs().size());
}

Architect a 4-layer Spring Boot 3.4 service (`CourseController` -> `CourseService` -> `CourseRepository` -> immutable `CourseRecord`) using zero `@Autowired` field injection, `spring.threads.virtual.enabled=true`, and a `CommandLineRunner` seed verifier.

• Use `final` fields + single-constructor Dependency Injection across every `@RestController` and `@Service`
• Never return persistence entities directly from the controller — map to Java `record` DTOs
• Verify Virtual Thread execution via `Thread.currentThread().isVirtual()`

Spring Boot DevTools (`RestartClassLoader`), LiveReload & Rapid Local Iteration — Actuator, Logs & MockMvc Lab Task

  • Implement spring-boot-devtools (<optional>true</optional>) — Base ClassLoader + RestartClassLoader with constructor injection & immutable Java 21 records
  • Verify protection against Enabling `spring.devtools.remote.secret` on an internet-exposed staging/production server creates a severe Remote Code Execution / hot-swap attack surface — NEVER run DevTools in production!
  • Submit your Java source class and verified output for trainer review
Hands-On Program Sample: Inspecting ClassLoader Identity Under DevTools vs Standard JVM Launch CODE
String loader = AcademyBootApp.class.getClassLoader().getClass().getSimpleName();
boolean isRestartLoader = loader.contains("RestartClassLoader");
System.out.println("Loaded viaClassLoader: " + (isRestartLoader ? "RestartClassLoader" : "StandardAppClassLoader"));

Configure a Java 21 `pom.xml` inheriting `spring-boot-starter-parent:3.4.x`, extract layered JAR segments (`dependencies`, `spring-boot-loader`, `application`) for fast 2-second Docker image rebuilds, and wire `spring-boot-devtools` strictly as `<optional>true</optional>`.

• Omit explicit `<version>` tags on managed starters so the Spring Boot BOM prevents `NoSuchMethodError` conflicts
• Verify `java -Djarmode=tools -jar app.jar list-layers` layered JAR extraction
• Ensure `spring-boot-devtools` is disabled automatically when running packaged production JARs

Module Learning & Hands-On Objectives

✓ Core Stereotype & DI Annotations — `@SpringBootApplication`, `@Service`, `@Bean`, `@Qualifier` & Scopes — The 3-in-1 `@SpringBootApplication` meta-annotation, `@Component` vs `@Service` vs `@Repository` (which adds `PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor`!), `@Configuration` (`proxyBeanMethods`) + `@Bean`, `@Primary` vs `@Qualifier`, and Singleton vs Prototype bean scopes.
✓ Spring Boot 3 Auto-Configuration Internals — `AutoConfiguration.imports` & `@ConditionalOn*` Guards — How Spring Boot 3 moved from legacy `spring.factories` to **`META-INF/spring/org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.AutoConfiguration.imports`**, evaluates `@ConditionalOnClass`, `@ConditionalOnMissingBean`, `@ConditionalOnProperty`, and prints the Positive/Negative match report via `--debug`.
✓ Externalized Config — `application.yml`, Property Precedence, `@Profile` & `@ConfigurationProperties` Records — 12-Factor externalized configuration: `application.yml` vs `.properties`, OS Environment Variables (`SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL` relaxed binding!) overriding packaged files, profile-specific `application-prod.yml`, and validated `@ConfigurationProperties` Java 21 `record`s.
✓ Embedded Server Tuning — `server.port`, Random Test Ports (`0`), Graceful Shutdown & Compression — Configuring `server.port` (CLI `--server.port=9090`, `SERVER_PORT`, or `server.port=0` for OS-assigned random free port in integration tests!), `server.shutdown=graceful` (draining in-flight requests on `SIGTERM`!), and HTTP Gzip/Zstd response compression.
✓ Build, verify, and ship Module Capstone: Type-Safe Multi-Environment Payment Gateway Auto-Configuration & `@ConfigurationProperties` Engine.

🎯 For What Purpose: To understand and apply Embedded Server Tuning — `server.port`, Random Test Ports (`0`), Graceful Shutdown & Compression in real Springboot systems — specifically: Configuring `server.port` (CLI `--server.port=9090`, `SERVER_PORT`, or `server.port=0` for OS-assigned random free port in integration tests!), `server.shutdown=graceful` (draining in-flight requests on `SIGTERM`!), and HTTP Gzip/Zstd response compression, so your code stays reliable, fast, and easy to maintain in production.

Purpose: Apply server.port=8080 | server.shutdown=graceful | spring.lifecycle.timeout-per-shutdown-phase=30s idiomatically in real Springboot Training codebases with explicit parameter and return validation.
  • • Deep-Dive Mechanics: WebServerInitializedEvent port lookup & Server.tomcat.threads.max tuning Purpose: With `server.shutdown=graceful`, Embedded Tomcat stops accepting NEW connections immediately upon `SIGTERM` while allowing active in-flight requests up to `timeout-per-shutdown-phase` to finish cleanly!.
  • • Advanced Patterns: Server.compression.enabled=true & PortInUseFailureAnalyzer diagnostics Purpose: Complexity & performance profile: `server.port=0` lets parallel CI integration test suites bind ephemeral OS ports without `Port 8080 was already in use` collisions.
  • • Production Failure Mode & Pitfall Guard Purpose: Leaving `server.shutdown=immediate` (the historical default before graceful tuning) in Kubernetes kills in-flight checkout HTTP requests mid-transaction with `502 Bad Gateway` during every rolling deployment!.
  • • Hands-On Live Coding Lab: Programmatic Server Port & Graceful Shutdown Customizer Purpose: Implement, dry-run, benchmark, and verify deterministic output plus edge-case recovery in your IDE.

Create an immutable `@Validated @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "academy.payment") record PaymentProps(...)` failing fast at startup if API timeouts or URLs are invalid, paired with `@Profile("dev")` MockGateway and `@Profile("prod")` LiveGateway beans.

• Fail fast on boot (`BindValidationException`) if `timeoutMs < 100` or `merchantId` is blank
• Use `@ConditionalOnProperty(name = "academy.payment.enabled", havingValue = "true")`
• Zero `@Value` string scattering inside business services — inject typed `PaymentProps` record

💡 Self-Explanatory Overview: In simple, everyday terms, Resource Mutation — `@PostMapping` (`201 Created` + `Location`), `PUT` vs `PATCH` & `@DeleteMapping` (`204`) teaches you how Springboot applications deserializing JSON payloads with `@RequestBody`, building RFC-9110 `Location` headers via `ServletUriComponentsBuilder.fromCurrentRequest()`, understanding HTTP **Idempotency** (`GET`, `PUT`, `DELETE` are idempotent; `POST` is NOT!), and returning `204 No Content`. Even if you have never seen this concept before, your trainer explains the real-life problem first, writes clean Spring Boot 3.4, Java 21 Virtual Threads, Spring Web MVC & REST code live on screen, and shows what breaks in production if this step is skipped.

🎯 For What Purpose: To understand and apply Resource Mutation — `@PostMapping` (`201 Created` + `Location`), `PUT` vs `PATCH` & `@DeleteMapping` (`204`) in real Springboot systems — specifically: Deserializing JSON payloads with `@RequestBody`, building RFC-9110 `Location` headers via `ServletUriComponentsBuilder.fromCurrentRequest()`, understanding HTTP **Idempotency** (`GET`, `PUT`, `DELETE` are idempotent; `POST` is NOT!), and returning `204 No Content`, so your code stays reliable, fast, and easy to maintain in production.

Module Learning & Hands-On Objectives

✓ Global Exception Handling — `@RestControllerAdvice`, `@ExceptionHandler` & RFC-9457 `ProblemDetail` — Replacing scattered controller `try/catch` blocks with a single `@RestControllerAdvice` aspect, extending `ResponseEntityExceptionHandler`, and returning Spring Framework 6’s native **`ProblemDetail`** (`application/problem+json` RFC-9457 standard!).
✓ Jakarta Bean Validation (`spring-boot-starter-validation`) — `@Valid`, Nested DTOs & Custom Validators — Note that Spring Boot 2.3+ extracted Hibernate Validator into explicit **`spring-boot-starter-validation`**! Enforcing `@NotBlank`, `@Email`, `@Size`, `@Positive`, cascading `@Valid` on nested objects/lists, and `@Validated` for method/query parameters.
✓ DTO Projections, Static (`@JsonIgnore`) & Dynamic (`MappingJacksonValue`) Filtering + Content Negotiation — Preventing sensitive field exposure (`passwordHash`, `internalMargin`) and Mass-Assignment attacks (`role = "ADMIN"`): dedicated Request/Response Java `record` DTOs, `@JsonProperty(access = WRITE_ONLY)`, `@JsonView`, `MappingJacksonValue` `SimpleBeanPropertyFilter`, and XML/JSON Content Negotiation.
✓ REST API Versioning Strategies, `Spring HATEOAS` (`EntityModel`) & Internationalization (`i18n`) — Four industry API versioning patterns (**URI Path** `/api/v1/users`, **Custom Header** `X-API-VERSION=1`, **Media-Type Accept** `application/vnd.company.v1+json`, **Query Param**), hypermedia links with `spring-boot-starter-hateoas` (`WebMvcLinkBuilder`), and `Accept-Language` `MessageSource` `i18n`.
✓ Build, verify, and ship Module Capstone: RFC-9457 `ProblemDetail` Error Engine, Custom `@ValidCoupon` Validator & Versioned REST API.

💡 Self-Explanatory Overview: In simple, everyday terms, REST API Versioning Strategies, `Spring HATEOAS` (`EntityModel`) & Internationalization (`i18n`) teaches you how Springboot applications four industry API versioning patterns (**URI Path** `/api/v1/users`, **Custom Header** `X-API-VERSION=1`, **Media-Type Accept** `application/vnd.company.v1+json`, **Query Param**), hypermedia links with `spring-boot-starter-hateoas` (`WebMvcLinkBuilder`), and `Accept-Language` `MessageSource` `i18n`. Even if you have never seen this concept before, your trainer explains the real-life problem first, writes clean Spring Boot 3.4, Java 21 Virtual Threads, Spring Web MVC & REST code live on screen, and shows what breaks in production if this step is skipped.

🎯 For What Purpose: To understand and apply REST API Versioning Strategies, `Spring HATEOAS` (`EntityModel`) & Internationalization (`i18n`) in real Springboot systems — specifically: Four industry API versioning patterns (**URI Path** `/api/v1/users`, **Custom Header** `X-API-VERSION=1`, **Media-Type Accept** `application/vnd.company.v1+json`, **Query Param**), hypermedia links with `spring-boot-starter-hateoas` (`WebMvcLinkBuilder`), and `Accept-Language` `MessageSource` `i18n`, so your code stays reliable, fast, and easy to maintain in production.

Versioning is the most important and difficult part of the API as it takes backward API compatible. Versioning helps us to iterate faster when the changes are identified. We should always version our Web API. Consider a scenario in which we have a Web API that is up (status) and running. The users are consuming that API. Now we want to add more functionality in the Web API but want to keep the existing functionality...

Around Advice is represented by the @Around annotation in Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP). It executes both before and after the execution of a method. It is considered the most powerful type of advice because it provides complete control over method execution using ProceedingJoinPoint. In this chapter, we will implement Around Advice in a Spring Boot application. Steps to Create Spring Boot AOP Around Advice Step...

`@Around` Advice with `ProceedingJoinPoint` — SLA Latency Profiling & Idempotent Retry Interceptors — Actuator, Logs & MockMvc Lab Task

  • Implement @Around("@annotation(TimedOp)") public Object profile(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable { long t0 = System.nanoTime(); try { return pjp.proceed(); } finally { ... } } with constructor injection & immutable Java 21 records
  • Verify protection against Forgetting to `return pjp.proceed();` inside an `@Around` advice causes EVERY intercepted service method in production to silently return `null` (or skip database writes completely)!
  • Submit your Java source class and verified output for trainer review
Hands-On Program Sample: Production `@Around` SLA Profiler Using Monotonic `System.nanoTime()` CODE
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.*;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Aspect
@Component
public class SlaTimerAspect {
    @Around("@annotation(org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping)")
    public Object timeEndpoint(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable {
        long startNs = System.nanoTime();
        try {
            return pjp.proceed();
        } finally {
            long ms = (System.nanoTime() - startNs) / 1_000_000;...

Create a custom `@Target(ElementType.METHOD) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @interface TrackLatency` annotation and an `@Aspect` using `@Around` (`ProceedingJoinPoint`) that logs method duration, tags slow calls (> 250 ms), and records outcome status in a `try/finally` block.

• Always execute `pjp.proceed()` inside `try { ... } finally { ... }` so exceptions are never swallowed accidentally while timing is still recorded!
• Target explicit `@annotation(...)` pointcuts rather than sweeping `execution(* com..*.*(..))` across framework beans
• Demonstrate why `this.internalHelper()` does NOT trigger the aspect and refactor via extracted collaborator bean

Even if you have never seen this concept before, your trainer explains the real-life problem first, writes clean Spring Boot 3.4, Java 21 Virtual Threads, Spring Web MVC & REST code live on screen, and shows what breaks in production if this step is skipped.

🎯 For What Purpose: To understand and apply JPA Entity Relationships (`@ManyToOne`, `@OneToMany`) — `FetchType.LAZY` & Crushing the `N+1` Trap in real Springboot systems — specifically: Bidirectional mapping (`@OneToMany(mappedBy = "course")` + `@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)` `@JoinColumn` owning side!), why JPA’s default `EAGER` on `@ManyToOne` / `@OneToOne` is a silent performance killer, and solving **`N+1` queries** via `@EntityGraph`, `JOIN FETCH`, or DTO Projections, so your code stays reliable, fast, and easy to maintain in production.

In Spring Data JPA, entities can be connected through relationships such as one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many. These relationships help represent real-world associations between database tables. In this chapter, we will learn how to create a Post entity and establish a many-to-one relationship between the Post and User entities using JPA annotations.

JPA Entity Relationships (`@ManyToOne`, `@OneToMany`) — `FetchType.LAZY` & Crushing the `N+1` Trap — Actuator, Logs & MockMvc Lab Task

  • Implement @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY) @JoinColumn(name = "course_id") + @EntityGraph(attributePaths = "course") with constructor injection & immutable Java 21 records
  • Verify protection against Forgetting that JPA defaults **`@ManyToOne` and `@OneToOne` to `FetchType.EAGER`** fires hidden cascading SQL queries even when you never read the parent association — ALWAYS explicitly set `fetch = FetchType.LAZY` on ALL associations!
  • Submit your Java source class and verified output for trainer review
Hands-On Program Sample: Eliminating `N+1` Queries Using Declarative `@EntityGraph` on `JpaRepository` CODE
import jakarta.persistence.*;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.*;
import java.util.List;

@Entity class BatchEntity {
    @Id Long id;
    String batchCode;
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY) @JoinColumn(name = "course_id")
    CourseEntity course;
}

interface BatchRepo extends JpaRepository<BatchEntity, Long> {
    @EntityGraph(attributePaths = {"course"})
    List<BatchEntity> findAll(); // Single LEFT JOIN SQL instead of N+1!
}

Model `Course` (1) <-> (N) `CohortBatch` entities with explicit `FetchType.LAZY` on `@ManyToOne`, fetch paginated DTO summaries in 1 SQL query via JPQL Constructor/Record Projection, disable `spring.jpa.open-in-view=false`, and protect seat decrements against lost updates using `@Version` optimistic locking.

• Set `spring.jpa.open-in-view=false` explicitly so no accidental lazy SQL runs inside Jackson HTTP serialization
• Override `@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)` (JPA’s default on `@ManyToOne` is `EAGER`!)
• Verify query count = 1 using Hibernate SQL statistics in `@DataJpaTest`

It is a server-side Java template engine for both web (servlet-based) and non-web (offline) environments. It is perfect for modern-day HTML5 JVM web development. It provides full integration with Spring Framework. It applies a set of transformations to template files...

Server-Side Rendering with `Thymeleaf` — Natural HTML5 Templates, `th:text` XSS Escaping & Emails — Actuator, Logs & MockMvc Lab Task

  • Implement @Controller + Model.addAttribute("course", dto) + <span th:text="${course.title}">Fallback</span> with constructor injection & immutable Java 21 records
  • Verify protection against Using unescaped **`th:utext="${userComment}"`** on untrusted student input injects raw `<script>` tags directly into the DOM (**Stored Cross-Site Scripting / XSS**)! Always use **`th:text`**!
  • Submit your Java source class and verified output for trainer review
Hands-On Program Sample: SSR `@Controller` Populating a `Model` for `templates/course-card.html` CODE
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

@Controller
public class CertificatePageController {
    @GetMapping("/preview-card")
    public String preview(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("trackTitle", "Springboot Training");
        model.addAttribute("offerInr", 999);
        return "course-card"; // Resolves classpath:/templates/course-card.html
    }
}

Configure `@EnableCaching` with `CaffeineCacheManager` (`maximumSize=1000, expireAfterWrite=10m`), guard hot course lookups with `@Cacheable(cacheNames = "courses", key = "#slug", sync = true)`, evict atomically on admin updates via `@CacheEvict`, and render a `Thymeleaf` HTML summary card.

• Enable `sync = true` on `@Cacheable` so 500 concurrent cache-miss threads compute the DB query ONLY ONCE
• Never cache `null` or broken states unintentionally (`unless = "#result == null"`)
• Use XSS-escaped `th:text` (never `th:utext` on user-supplied strings) in Thymeleaf templates

Write a 3-tier automated test suite for the Enrollment Service: (1) pure `@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)` unit test verifying business rules in 5 ms, (2) `@WebMvcTest` `MockMvc` slice test asserting `201 Created` + `400 ProblemDetail`, and (3) `@DataJpaTest` verifying custom repository queries.

• Do NOT put `@SpringBootTest` on every unit test (reloading full `ApplicationContext` per test slows CI from 8 seconds to 15 minutes!)
• Assert exact JSON payloads using `jsonPath("$.code").value("SPBT")` in `MockMvc`
• Achieve >= 85% service & controller line/branch coverage
