Is it possible to set a bean name using annotations in Spring Framework?

Question

I have a bean like this:

@Bean
public String myBean(){
    return \"My bean\";
}

I want to autowire it:

@Autowired
@Qualifi

What you are asking is already available in Spring 4.3.3

By default, configuration classes use a @Bean method’s name as the name of the resulting bean. This functionality can be overridden, however, with the name attribute.

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {

    @Bean(name = "myFoo")
    public Foo foo() {
        return new Foo();
    }

}
