I have come across two elements in the Spring MVC, context:annotation-config and context:component-scan.
For me, it looks like context:component-scan performs the same job as context:annotation-config and also registers the new beans.I don't see any valid reason or scenario where we have to use context:annotation-config.
Please provide some insights if it gives any additional benefits in specific scenarios for Spring MVC applications.

1Don't use either in new code, and use Spring Boot with Java configuration instead. – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- Apr 08 '15 at 10:37

Yes, But my question is is there is any specific use for context:annotation-config – Krishna Apr 08 '15 at 10:38

No, It's only used to activate annotations in beans already registered. – Ambika Oct 16 '16 at 15:35
