public class AnnotationConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext extends ServletWebServerApplicationContext implements AnnotationConfigRegistry
ServletWebServerApplicationContext that accepts annotated classes as input - in particular @Configuration -annotated classes, but also plain @Component classes and JSR-330 compliant classes using javax.inject annotations. Allows for registering classes one by one (specifying class names as config location) as well as for classpath scanning (specifying base packages as config location).

Note: In case of multiple @Configuration classes, later @Bean definitions will override ones defined in earlier loaded files. This can be leveraged to deliberately override certain bean definitions via an extra Configuration class.
