Spring Allow declaring bean stereotypes using Java configuration [SPR-14677]

Behrang Saeedzadeh opened SPR-14677 and commented

It would be nice if we could declare that a given bean has a particular stereotype using Java based configuration. For example:

@Bean
@Service
public TwitterService twitterService() {
   // ...
}

@Bean
@Repository
public TweetRepository tweetRepository() {
   // ...
}

@Service
public TwitterService twitterService() {
   // ...
}

@Bean(stereotype = Service.class)
public TwitterService twitterService() {
   // ...
}

No further details from SPR-14677

Team Decision: We've discussed this, and don't see it as a good fit on, because it would make it possible to declare multiple beans of the same type, with different stereotypes. A stereotype annotation really belonging on the class declaration where it's clear the a single class can only be one kind of component.

If this is for autowiring purposes, you could add @Qualifier. If not, please provide more details on how you use the stereotype metadata, so we can provide some further guidance.
