Autowired annotation in Spring Framework

Question

Can someone help me in understanding what is the @Autowired annotation in the Spring Framework?

Answer 1

The @Autowired annotation provides more accurate control over where and how autowiring should be done. This annotation is used to autowire bean on the setter methods, constructor, a property or methods with arbitrary names or multiple arguments. By default, it is a type driven injection.

For Example:

public class Employee { private String name; @Autowired public void setName(String name) {this.name=name; } public string getName() { return name; } }
