Question

How can I create a new annotation based on a Spring @Service annotation or @Component?

I want just to change the name for a more semantic use: for example change the name to @TransactionelService.

You can create your own annotation (e.g. @MyComponent) annotated with the corresponding spring annotation. For example:

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Component
public @interface MyComponent {
}
