implements Annotation
org.springframework.stereotype.Component

Class Overview

Indicates that an annotated class is a "component". Such classes are considered as candidates for auto-detection when using annotation-based configuration and classpath scanning.

Other class-level annotations may be considered as identifying a component as well, typically a special kind of component: e.g. the @Repository annotation or AspectJ's org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect @Aspect annotation.
