Exclude a specific spring.xml from component scan

Question

I have a spring boot app where I am scanning for all the beans defined in spring.xml of jar files added as dependency.

@ImportResource({"classpath*:/META-INF/spring.xml"})

However I have a specific jar file (foo.jar) from which my app should NOT be scanning the spring.xml. Is there a way to specify exclusion for a specific jar file?

It seems there is no way for ignoring based on package. But you can ignore namespace. — Ken Bekov, Dec 20 '16 at 06:52

If you are using maven than you can exclude by using exclusion tag in dependency and mentioning the group id and the artifact id that is to be excluded.

It would be something like this: -

<dependency>
  <groupId>package group id</groupId>
  <artifactId>package artifact id</artifactId>
  <version></version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>group id to be excluded</groupId>
      <artifactId>artifact id to be excluded</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>
