How to register custom scope in Spring Boot?

Question

I'm trying to register a custom scope to incorporate a third party library, Amazon SWF. Specifically a 'workflow' scope.

You need to create new annotation:

@Qualifier
@Scope("workflow")

And add it to your workflow scoped bean:

@Component
@WorkflowScoped 
public class WorkflowScopedBean {
