Spring Boot - Async Processing

Analyze this Spring Boot async method:

@Async
public void performTask() {
  throw new IllegalStateException("Failure");
}

What is the expected behavior when performTask() is called?

AThe method retries automatically on exception

BThe exception is thrown to the caller immediately

CThe exception is logged but not propagated to the caller

DThe exception is ignored silently

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Exception handling in async void methods
Exceptions thrown in async void methods are caught by Spring's async executor and logged.
Step 2: Caller does not receive exception
Since the method returns void, the caller does not get the exception propagated.
Final Answer:
The exception is logged but not propagated to the caller -> Option C
Quick Check:
Async void exceptions are logged, not thrown to caller [OK]

Quick Trick: Exceptions in async void methods are logged, not thrown [OK]
