== Why is this an issue? Consistent naming of beans is important for the readability and maintainability of the code. More precisely, according to the Spring documentation: ---- Naming beans consistently makes your configuration easier to read and understand. Also, if you use Spring AOP, it helps a lot when applying advice to a set of beans related by name. ---- Not following accepted conventions can introduce inconsistent naming, especially when multiple developers work on the same project, leading to technical debt. The spring documentation establishes a naming convention that consists of camel-cased names with a leading lowercase letter. This rule raises an issue when a bean name defined in one of the following annotations does not adhere to the naming convention: * `@Bean` * `@Configuration` * `@Controller` * `@Component` * `@Qualifier` * `@Repository` * `@Service` == How to fix it Change the bean's name to adhere to the naming conventions. Names should be camel-cased and start with a lowercase letter, for example, `myBean`. === Code examples ==== Noncompliant code example [source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant] ---- @Bean(name = "MyBean") // Noncompliant, the first letter of the name should be lowercase public MyBean myBean() { ... ---- ==== Compliant solution [source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant] ---- @Bean(name = "myBean") // Compliant public MyBean myBean() { ... ---- ==== Noncompliant code example [source,java,diff-id=2,diff-type=noncompliant] ---- @Service("my_service") // Noncompliant, the name should be camel-cased public class MyService { ... ---- ==== Compliant solution [source,java,diff-id=2,diff-type=compliant] ---- @Service("myService") // Compliant public class MyService { ... ---- == Resources === Documentation * Spring Framework Documentation - https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/core/beans/definition.html#beans-beanname[3.3 Bean overview] === Articles & blog posts * Java Guides - https://www.javaguides.net/2019/03/spring-boot-best-practices.html[Spring Boot Best Practices]
