void	scan(String... basePackages)	Perform a scan within the specified base packages.

Method Details

register

void register(BeanRegistrar... registrars)

Invoke the given registrars for registering their beans with this application context.

This can be used to register custom beans without inferring annotation-based characteristics for primary/fallback/lazy-init, rather specifying those programmatically if needed.

Parameters:

registrars - one or more BeanRegistrar instances

7.0

register

void register(Class<?>... componentClasses)

Register one or more component classes to be processed, inferring annotation-based characteristics for primary/fallback/lazy-init just like for scanned component classes.

Calls to register are idempotent; adding the same component class more than once has no additional effect.

Parameters:

componentClasses - one or more component classes, for example, @Configuration classes

See Also:

• scan(String...)

scan

void scan(String... basePackages)

Perform a scan within the specified base packages.

Parameters:

basePackages - the packages to scan for component classes
