What types of scope do Bean components have in Spring?

In Spring, the following are the main types of scope for Bean components:

• singleton (default) — one instance of the bean is created for the entire Spring container. All requests receive the same object.
• prototype — a new instance of the bean is created for each request.
• request — the bean exists within the scope of a single HTTP request (relevant for web applications).
• session — the bean is tied to the user's HTTP session.
• application — the bean exists within the scope of the ServletContext, i.e., for the entire web application.
• websocket — the bean exists within the WebSocket session.

Example of specifying scope:

@Component
@Scope("prototype")
public class MyBean {
    // ...
}

The choice of scope depends on the requirements for the bean's lifecycle and state.
