## org.springframework.context.annotation
Annotation Type Scope

    @Target(value={TYPE,METHOD})
    @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    @Documented
    public @interface Scope

When used as a type-level annotation in conjunction with the `Component` annotation, indicates the name of a scope to use for instances of the annotated type.

When used as a method-level annotation in conjunction with the `Bean` annotation, indicates the name of a scope to use for the instance returned from the method.

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 via `ConfigurableBeanFactory` and `WebApplicationContext` interfaces.

To register additional custom scopes, see `CustomScopeConfigurer`.

    public abstract String value

### proxyMode

    public abstract ScopedProxyMode proxyMode
