Use of Qualifiers in Autowiring

[Joe San]

Ranchers,

Why would I use a Qualifier attribute when I autowire my beans?

[Freddy Wong]

@Autowired is fundamentally about type-driven injection. If you have more than one beans with that have the same type, you need to use @Qualifier to tell which bean that you're referring to.

I prefer to use @Resource for such case, though.
