vvxSpring annotation based configuration offers several annotations, like @Controller, @Service , @Repository
and so on. They all
inherit from @Component annotation as well. Although it is possible to create beans with only using
@Component annotation,
you will be missing some functionality which becomes available on your beans when they are defined with
appropriate stereo
type annotations.
For example, @Repository annotation helps handling of Hibernate or JPA specific exceptions and converting
them into Spring
specific DataAccessExceptions. @Controller annotation signals to DispatcherServlet that, it contains handler
methods with
@RequestMapping annotation. Although @Service annotation doesn’t make all of the public methods
transactional in a service
bean - like session beans in EJBs, it is just a matter of defining an annotation which brings those @Service
and @Transactional
annotations together, or write an aspect to achieve similar behavior.
@Controller
public class SecurityController {
private SecurityService securityService;
@Autowired
public void setSecurityService(SecurityService securityService) {
this.securityService = securityService;
//...
@Service
public class SecurityServiceImpl implements SecurityService {
@Autowired
private SecurityDao securityDao;
//...
