27 Annotations Bean Scopes Overview

The document discusses Spring bean scopes, which determine the lifecycle and sharing of beans. The default scope is singleton, where a single bean instance is created and shared across all requests. Other scopes include prototype, where a new bean instance is created for each request, and request/session scopes which are scoped to the HTTP request or session respectively and only apply to web applications. Scopes can be explicitly specified using the @Scope annotation.
