- @Component auto detects and configures the beans using classpath scanning whereas @Bean explicitly declares a single bean, rather than letting Spring do it automatically.
- @Component does not decouple the declaration of the bean from the class definition where as @Bean decouples the declaration of the bean from the class definition.
- @Component is a class level annotation where as @Bean is a method level annotation and name of the method serves as the bean name.
- @Component need not to be used with the @Configuration annotation where as @Bean annotation has to be used within the class which is annotated with @Configuration.
- We cannot create a bean of a class using @Component, if the class is outside spring container whereas we can create a bean of a class using @Bean even if the class is present outside the spring container.
- @Component has different specializations like @Controller, @Repository and @Service whereas @Bean has no specializations.
1. component ： 1 利用spring 類路徑掃描，
2. 寫在類上，和類定義不分離。
3. 不需要配合 @configuration注解
2. Bean ： .當類不受spring控制的時候，寫一個方法，返回某個不受spring控制的類的對象。 這樣就能在spring里注入一個bean。
配合configuration注解
