## Annotation Type ControllerAdvice

-     @Target(value=TYPE)
      @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      @Documented
      @Component
      public @interface ControllerAdvice

  Indicates the annotated class assists a "Controller".

  Serves as a specialization of `@Component`, allowing for implementation classes to be autodetected through classpath scanning.

  It is typically used to define `@ExceptionHandler`, `@InitBinder`, and `@ModelAttribute` methods that apply to all `@RequestMapping` methods.
