@Target(value=TYPE) @Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Documented public @interface Import
@Configuration
classes.
Provides functionality equivalent to the <import/>
element in Spring XML.
Allows for importing @Configuration
classes, ImportSelector
and
ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar
implementations, as well as regular component
classes (as of 4.2; analogous to AnnotationConfigApplicationContext.register(java.lang.Class<?>...)
).
@Bean
definitions declared in imported @Configuration
classes should be
accessed by using @Autowired
injection. Either the bean itself can be autowired, or the configuration class instance
declaring the bean can be autowired. The latter approach allows for explicit, IDE-friendly
navigation between @Configuration
class methods.
May be declared at the class level or as a meta-annotation.
If XML or other non-@Configuration
bean definition resources need to be
imported, use the @ImportResource
annotation instead.
