What is the default autowiring in spring?

Looking at my web application, it looks like the default autowiring is by name. I did not use the autowire keyword in any XML files, but it's still autowiring. Based on this link, it looks like no autowiring should happen in this case.

Why is this happening? Can we set it at a global level somewhere in the project?

Dependency Injection is a fundamental aspect of the Spring framework, through which the Spring container “injects” objects into other objects or “dependencies”. Simply put, this allows for loose coupling of components and moves the responsibility of managing components onto the container.

As this link describes

Default, no auto wiring, set it manually via “ref” attribute. In case of autodetect – If a default constructor is found, use “autowired by constructor”; Otherwise, use “autowire by type”.
