Basic interrogation about Spring boot and @EnableAutoConfiguration

I have a basic question about Spring Boot:

Say I am developping a websocket app. It seems the idea behind Spring Boot is as follows:

As a developer I am responsible for:

  1. Including the following mvn dependency: spring-boot-starter-websocket
  2. Annotate my configuration class with: @EnableAutoConfiguration

Spring Boot is then responsible for applying the following config: WebSocketAutoConfiguration

In a nutshell, is it how it works? Can someone please confirm of infirm the above?

You are absolutely correct.

After adding spring-boot-starter-websocket to your configuration file and using the @EnableAutoConfiguration annotation, Spring will use you class path to automatically determine which configuration settings and beans need to be created for you.

Spring Boot will handle the WebSocketAutoConfiguration and any other necessary common configurations.
