What's the difference between @Component, @Repository & @Service annotations in Spring?
Can @Component
, @Repository
and @Service
annotations be used interchangeably in Spring or do they provide any particular functionality besides acting as a notation device?
In other words, if I have a Service class and I change the annotation from @Service
to @Component
, will it still behave the same way?
Or does the annotation also influence the behavior and functionality of the class?
