Usage

This element can be the root element of XML instance documents.
This element can be the child of element beans.

Documentation

	Container for <bean> and other elements, typically the root element in the document.
	Allows the definition of default values for all nested bean definitions. May itself
	be nested for the purpose of defining a subset of beans with certain default values or
	to be registered only when certain profile(s) are active. Any such nested <beans> element
	must be declared as the last element in the document.

default-autowire-candidates

Documentation

	A default bean name pattern for identifying autowire candidates:
	e.g. "*Service", "data*", "*Service*", "data*Service".
	Also accepts a comma-separated list of patterns: e.g. "*Service,*Dao".
	See the documentation for the 'autowire-candidate' attribute of the
	'bean' element for the semantic details of autowire candidate beans.

profile

Documentation

	The set of profiles for which this <beans> element may be parsed. Multiple profiles can be
	separated by any number of spaces, commas, or semi-colons (or indeed any mixture of the three).
	If one or more of the specified profiles are active at time of parsing, the <beans> element
	will be parsed, and all of its <bean> elements registered, &lt;import&gt; elements followed,
	etc.  If none of the specified profiles are active at time of parsing, then the entire element
	and its contents will be ignored.

	Profiles are activated in one of two ways:
		Programmatic:
			ConfigurableEnvironment#setActiveProfiles(String...)
			ConfigurableEnvironment#setDefaultProfiles(String...)

		Properties (typically through -D system properties, environment variables, or servlet context init params):
			spring.profiles.active=p1,p2
			spring.profiles.default=p1,p2
