1. @Bean:

1.1 定义

从定义可以看出，@Bean只能用于注解方法和注解的定义。

@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE})

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

1.2 spring文档中对 @Bean的说明

The @Bean annotation is used to indicate that a method instantiates, configures and initializes a new object to be managed by the Spring IoC container.

For those familiar with Spring’s <beans/> XML configuration the @Bean annotation plays the same role as the <bean/> element.

用@Bean注解的方法：会实例化、配置并初始化一个新的对象，这个对象会由spring IoC 容器管理。

实例：

@Configuration

public class AppConfig {

    @Bean

    public MyService myService() {

        return new MyServiceImpl();

    }

}

相当于在 XML 文件中配置

<beans>

    <bean id="myService" class="com.acme.services.MyServiceImpl"/>

</beans>

1.3 生成对象的名字：默认情况下用@Bean注解的方法名作为对象的名字。但是可以用 name属性定义对象的名字，而且还可以使用name为对象起多个名字。

@Configuration

public class AppConfig {

    @Bean(name = "myFoo")

    public Foo foo() {

        return new Foo();

    }

}

@Configuration

public class AppConfig {

    @Bean(name = { "dataSource", "subsystemA-dataSource", "subsystemB-dataSource" })

    public DataSource dataSource() {

        // instantiate, configure and return DataSource bean...

    }

}

1.4 @Bean 一般和 @Component或者@Configuration 一起使用。

@Component和@Configuration不同之处

（1）This method of declaring inter-bean dependencies only works when the @Bean method is declared within a @Configuration class. You cannot declare inter-bean dependencies using plain @Component classes.

在 @Component 注解的类中不能定义 类内依赖的@Bean注解的方法。@Configuration可以。

@Configuration

public class AppConfig {

    @Bean

    public Foo foo() {

        return new Foo(bar());

    }

    @Bean

    public Bar bar() {

        return new Bar();

    }

}

2. @Configuration:

2.1 定义

从定义看，用于注解类、接口、枚举、注解的定义。

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

2.2 spring 文档说明

@Configuration is a class-level annotation indicating that an object is a source of bean definitions. @Configuration classes declare beans via public @Bean annotated methods.

@Configuration用于类，表明这个类是beans定义的源。
