Enumeration determining autowiring status: that is, whether a bean should
have its dependencies automatically injected by the Spring container using
setter injection. This is a core concept in Spring DI.
Available for use in annotation-based configurations, such as for the
AspectJ AnnotationBeanConfigurer aspect.
