Annotation Type ImportAutoConfiguration

 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @Inherited
 @Import(value=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.ImportAutoConfigurationImportSelector.class)
public @interface ImportAutoConfiguration

Import and apply the specified auto-configuration classes. Applies the same ordering rules as @EnableAutoConfiguration but restricts the auto-configuration classes to the specified set, rather than consulting ImportCandidates.

Can also be used to exclude() specific auto-configuration classes such that they will never be applied.

Generally, @EnableAutoConfiguration should be used in preference to this annotation, however, @ImportAutoConfiguration can be useful in some situations and especially when writing tests.

1.3.0
