How does the Spring container manage the lifecycle of a bean with prototype scope?
Multiple choiceMediumchapter-9-curatedpremiumspring-coreinversion-of-control-ioc
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
B. It creates a new instance every time the bean is requested.
Why
A bean with prototype scope is instantiated anew each time it is requested from the container. This scope is suitable for stateful beans, where each client or request may require a distinct bean instance.
