beginnerCore Annotations & Auto-Configuration
How would you exclude one specific auto-configuration class from being applied?
Add `exclude = {SomeAutoConfiguration.class}` to `@SpringBootApplication` or `@EnableAutoConfiguration`, or set `spring.autoconfigure.exclude` in `application.properties`. This is the standard escape hatch when Boot's default wiring for something (e.g. a specific DataSource auto-configuration) conflicts with a custom bean you want full control over.
