Element Detail

type

public abstract FilterType type

The type of filter to use. Default is FilterType.ANNOTATION.

Default:

org.springframework.context.annotation.FilterType.ANNOTATION

value

public abstract Class<?>[] value

The class or classes to use as the filter. In the case of FilterType.ANNOTATION, the class will be the annotation itself. In the case of FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, the class will be the type that detected components should be assignable to. And in the case of FilterType.CUSTOM, the class will be an implementation of TypeFilter.

When multiple classes are specified, OR logic is applied, e.g. "include types annotated with @Foo OR @Bar".

Specifying zero classes is permitted but will have no effect on component scanning.

Default:

{}

pattern

public abstract String[] pattern

The String pattern (or patterns) to use for the filter, as an alternative to specifying a Class value(). In the case of FilterType.ASPECTJ, this is an AspectJ type pattern expression; in case of FilterType.REGEX, a regex pattern for the fully-qualified class names to match.

Default:

{}
