So, the rule of thumb is that if you want to give the sysadmin an option to disable a component (like a plugin for example), you define that bean (name, class map) in a context xml file, else you use the @Component annotation on the class (generally an impl) so spring creates a singleton/bean and autowires/injects wherever you may need it.
