Package org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure

Annotation Type ImportAutoConfiguration

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @Inherited @Import(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.
