Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 06 - Java Spring Framework - Comparing @Component Versus @Bean

The video tutorial explains the differences between the Add Component and Add Bean annotations in Spring Framework. Add Component is used for Java classes and is easier to use, requiring only an annotation. It supports various auto wiring methods like constructor, setter, and field injection. Add Bean, used in Spring configuration classes, is more complex, requiring manual bean creation and auto wiring through method calls or parameters. Add Component is recommended for creating beans in your own applications, while Add Bean is suitable for custom business logic or third-party libraries like Spring Security.
