Scope (Spring Framework 5.2.12.RELEASE API)

```
@Target({TYPE,METHOD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface Scope
```
When used as a type-level annotation in conjunction with @Component, @Scope indicates the name of a scope to use for instances of the annotated type.
When used as a method-level annotation in conjunction with @Bean, @Scope indicates the name of a scope to use for the instance returned from the method.
NOTE:@Scope annotations are only introspected on the concrete bean class (for annotated components) or the factory method (for @Bean methods). In contrast to XML bean definitions, there is no notion of bean definition inheritance, and inheritance hierarchies at the class level are irrelevant for metadata purposes.
In this context, scope means the lifecycle of an instance, such as singleton, prototype, and so forth. Scopes provided out of the box in Spring may be referred to using the SCOPE_* constants available in the ConfigurableBeanFactory and WebApplicationContext interfaces.
To register additional custom scopes, see CustomScopeConfigurer.

@AliasFor("scopeName")
String value
```
    Alias for scopeName().

    scopeName()
    Default:
    ""
- - scopeName
```
@AliasFor("value")
String scopeName
```
    Specifies the name of the scope to use for the annotated component/bean.
    Defaults to an empty string ("") which implies SCOPE_SINGLETON.

ScopedProxyMode proxyMode
```
    Specifies whether a component should be configured as a scoped proxy and if so, whether the proxy should be interface-based or subclass-based.
    Defaults to ScopedProxyMode.DEFAULT, which typically indicates that no scoped proxy should be created unless a different default has been configured at the component-scan instruction level.
    Analogous to <aop:scoped-proxy/> support in Spring XML.
