Spring @Bean(name ="name") vs @Bean @Qualifier("name")

Question

Is there any differences between the following 2 bean declaration?

 @Bean(name = "bean1")
 public A getA() {
     return new A();
 }


 @Bean
 @Qualifier("bean1")
 public A getA() {
     return new A();
 }

Both can be autowired using @Qualifier

 @Autowire
 public void test(@Qualifier("bean1") A a) {
     ...
 }

Answer 1

With value() you don't have to specify attribute name, like @Qualifier("bean1"). Attribute name() reference the same value as value() because of custom annotation @AliasFor(..) from Spring, therefore they are just different names with the same behavior.
