by

From Book Pro Spring Integration

@Configuration classes are just like regular @Components classes, except that methods annotated with @Bean are used to factory beans. Note that a @Component with @Bean annotated methods works the same way, except that scopes are not respected and the @Bean methods are re-invoked (no caching in play), so @Configuration is preferred, even though it requires CGLIB
