## @spring Class Level Tag Usage

### @spring.bean (0..1)

Defines a Spring bean.

Parameter | Type | Applicability | Description | Mandatory
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
id | text |  | ID for the bean. This should be unique within the spring configuration. Either this property, or the "name" property must be specified for each bean. | false
name | text |  | Name for the bean. This property can be used in place of the "id" attribute, where the name being used contains characters that would be invalid as an XML ID attribute. | false

autowire

text

Set's the autowiring mode for the bean. "byName" wires beans to properties by matching the bean's name to the property name. "byType" wires beans to properties by matching a bean's type to the property type. "constructor" wires beans through a constructor's parameters by matching types. "auto-detect" allows Spring to choose between "byType" and "constructor" as it sees fit. "no" indicates that no auto-wiring should be performed on this bean.
Valid options are:
no
byName
byType
constructor
auto-detect

false

dependency-check | text |  | Sets dependency checking rules on a bean. "none" indicates no dependency checking. "simple" dependency checking includes primitives and String. "objects" dependency checking includes collaborators (other beans). "all" performs both "simple" and "objects" dependency checking. Valid options are: none objects simple all | false
description | text |  | Describes the bean. | false
destroy-method | text |  | The name of an method to be invoked on bean factory shutdown. | false
init-method | text |  | The name of an initialization method to be invoked upon bean instantiation. | false
lazy-init | bool |  | If "true", Spring will instantiate this bean when it's needed, rather than at bean factory startup. | false
singleton | bool |  | If "true", one shared instance of this bean will be returned with every call to getBean(). If "false" each call results in a new instance. Default value(s): true | false

### @spring.property (0..*)

Defines a property which may be defined in a superclass, but not in this particular bean class.

Parameter | Type | Applicability | Description | Mandatory
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
ref | text |  | The id of another bean to wire to the property. | false
list | text |  | Comma-separated list of values to assign as a List to a property of type java.util.List. | false
name | text |  | The name of the property to be wired. | true
value | text |  | The value to assign to the property. | false

value | text |  | The value to assign to the constructor argument. | false

### @spring.property (0..*)

Declares a bean property.

Parameter | Type | Applicability | Description | Mandatory
