## Why is this an issue?

In Spring Framework, the `@Qualifier` annotation is typically used to disambiguate between multiple beans of the same type when auto-wiring dependencies. It is not necessary to use `@Qualifier` when defining a bean using the `@Bean` annotation because the bean’s name can be explicitly specified using the `name` attribute or derived from the method name. Using `@Qualifier` on `@Bean` methods can lead to confusion and redundancy. Beans should be named appropriately using either the `name` attribute of the `@Bean` annotation or the method name itself.

### Noncompliant code example

    @Configuration
    public class MyConfiguration {
      @Bean
      @Qualifier("myService")
      public MyService myService() {
        // ...
        return new MyService();
      }

      @Bean
      @Qualifier("betterService")
      public MyService aBetterService() {
        // ...
        return new MyService();
      }

      @Bean
      @Qualifier("evenBetterService")
      public MyService anEvenBetterService() {
        // ...
        return new MyService();
      }

      @Bean
      @Qualifier("differentService")
      public MyBean aDifferentService() {
        // ...
        return new MyBean();
      }
    }

### Compliant solution

    @Configuration
    public class MyConfiguration {
      @Bean
      public MyService myService() {
        // ...
        return new MyService();
      }

      @Bean(name="betterService")
      public MyService aBetterService() {
        // ...
        return new MyService();
      }

      @Bean(name="evenBetterService")
      public MyService anEvenBetterService() {
        // ...
        return new MyService();
      }

      @Bean(name="differentService")
      public MyBean aDifferentService() {
        // ...
        return new MyBean();
      }
    }
