Spring annotations and inheritance

[YuvalRon]

Hi

I have a question regarding the spring annotations scope. Answers may save me some experimenting time
If I use for example @Service, @Controller or @PreAuthorize annotations on a class or a method that is inherited by another class, will that annotation apply to the subclass / overriding methods?
What about the other way around, if i use an annotation on a subclass or an overriding method, will it be applying to the superclass / method? (i expect not).

hi, i have the same question and find no clear answer from the web. Hope somebody or spring team can declare that.

"me too"

class Foo {
@Transactional
public void doSomething()
{ ... }
}

class Bar extends Foo{...}


Is calling new Bar().doSomething() affected by the Transactional annotation in the super class??
