Spring @Service Annotation Tutorial

The @Service annotation is also a specialization of the Component annotation. It doesn’t currently provide any additional behavior over the @Component annotation, but it’s a good idea to use @Service over @Component in service-layer classes because it specifies intent better. Additionally, tool support and additional behavior might rely on it in the future.

This annotation serves as a specialization of @Component, allowing for implementation classes to be autodetected through classpath scanning.

It is introduced in Spring 2.5.

Syntax:


 
@Service("myService")
public class MyService
{

}
