• conditionals : Examples illustrating conditional configuration for section 3.2.
• scopedbeans : Examples illustrating scoped bean configuration for section 3.4.

Note that because the examples evolve throughout the chapter and the book's text sometimes shows multiple ways of accomplishing a goal, not all variations of the code in the book will be represented in these samples. You are invited to use this source code as a starting point and experiment using the variations presented in the text.
