Answer from AI

In addition to @Bean and @Component, there are other annotations in Spring for defining and managing components:

  • @Service — a specialized annotation for the service layer, semantically indicating that the class contains business logic.
  • @Repository — for components that interact with the database; also helps Spring handle data access exceptions.
  • @Controller — for defining controllers in MVC applications that handle HTTP requests.
  • @RestController — combines @Controller and @ResponseBody, used for REST APIs.

All these annotations are specialized variants of @Component and help structure the application into layers.
