Configures component scanning directives for use with @Configuration classes. Provides support parallel with Spring XML's <context:component-scan> element. 
Either basePackageClasses or basePackages (or its alias value) may be specified to define specific packages to scan. If specific packages are not defined, scanning will occur from the package of the class that declares this annotation. 
Note that the <context:component-scan> element has an annotation-config attribute; however, this annotation does not. This is because in almost all cases when using @ComponentScan, default annotation config processing (e.g. processing @Autowired and friends) is assumed. Furthermore, when using AnnotationConfigApplicationContext, annotation config processors are always registered, meaning that any attempt to disable them at the @ComponentScan level would be ignored. 
See @Configuration's Javadoc for usage examples.

FilterTypeClass Interpreted As


ANNOTATION
the annotation itself


ASSIGNABLE_TYPE
the type that detected components should be assignable to


CUSTOM
an implementation of TypeFilter




When multiple classes are specified, OR logic is applied — for example, "include types annotated with @Foo OR @Bar". 
Custom TypeFilters may optionally implement any of the following Aware interfaces, and their respective methods will be called prior to match: 


Specifying zero classes is permitted but will have no effect on component
scanning.
