SUPPORT

Role hint indicating that a BeanDefinition is a supporting part of some larger configuration, typically an outer org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ComponentDefinition. SUPPORT beans are considered important enough to be aware of when looking more closely at a particular org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ComponentDefinition, but not when looking at the overall configuration of an application.
