exclude @Component from @ComponentScan

Question

I have a component that I want to exclude from a @ComponentScan in a particular @Configuration:

@Component(\"foo\") class Foo {
...         


        

Answer 1

I needed to exclude an auditing @Aspect @Component from the app context but only for a few test classes. I ended up using @Profile("audit") on the aspect class; including the profile for normal operations but excluding it (don't put it in @ActiveProfiles) on the specific test classes.
