3 Common annotation in Spring Boot
package com.example.demo;
➢ @Configuration
@Configuration
• Marks a configuration file
@ComponentScan • Java equivalent of <beans> file (replacement for XML)
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class DemoApplication { ➢ @ComponentScan
• Looks for @Components (Spring Beans)
public static void • Automatically Discovers & Register them as
main(String[] args) { Components [@Component, @Controller, @Service]
...
} ➢ @EnableAutoConfiguration
} • Master Runtime switch for Spring Boot
• It Tell’s the Spring Boot to Automatically Configure
any Components [i.e, DispatcherServlet, Datasource
etc.]
• Examines Application context
• Creates missing beans based on intelligent defaults
