Documentation

Applying the @Scope("singleton") to a class annotated with @Controller, @RestController, @Repository or @Service is redundant as these classes are singletons by default.

Before 
@Scope("singleton")
@Controller
public class UserController {
}
After 
@Controller
public class UserController {
}
