What happens if my class has name for both annotations @Component and @Qualifier?

[Stefan Jankovic]

If I have designed this:

@Component("toyA")
@Qualifier("toyB")
public class Toy {
     ...
}

, tell me what happens inside IOC container? Is my bean with class Toy named toyA or toyB? And how is this even possible; I get no compilation errors...

[Stephan van Hulst]

Why wouldn't it be possible for a component to have two names?

[Stefan Jankovic]

Hmmm sounds simply Does that mean that inside Container we now have two references to the same object? References named toyA and toyB?

[Stephan van Hulst]

That sounds reasonable.
