Annotation Interface Qualifier


Annotation used to qualify the selection of a bean when multiple beans of the same type are available for autowiring or injection.

This annotation can be applied to fields, methods, parameters, types, or other annotations to specify the qualifier value, aiding in the selection of the exact bean to be injected or autowired.

The value attribute within @Qualifier allows for providing a specific identifier or qualifier string to differentiate between multiple beans of the same type. When used in conjunction with dependency injection bring frameworks, it helps in precisely identifying the intended bean to be injected.
