Inherit annotations from abstract class?

Question

Can I somehow group a set of annotations on an abstract class, and every class that extends this class has automatically assigned these annotations?

At least the fol

Answer 1

I have this piece of code in my project and it works just fine, although it's not annotated as Service:

public abstract class AbstractDataAccessService {

    @Autowired
    protected GenericDao genericDao;


}

and

@Component
public class ActorService extends AbstractDataAccessService {

    // you can use genericDao here

}

So you don't need to put annotation on your abstract class but even if you do you will still have to put annotation on all subclass as @Component or @Service annotations are not inherited.
