Research direction

Start with the authentication studio at the linked studio.html page and compare its user repository with the repository examples referenced in the chapter. Clarify when @Repository is required and update the studio or nearby explanation so the distinction is explicit; done means students can understand why the authentication example differs.

Description

Permalink:

https://education.launchcode.org/java-web-development/chapters/auth/studio.html

Issue:

From the instructor:
"In the studio of the authentication chapter, the user repository doesn’t include the @repository annotation. This is different than every other repository implementation we’ve done in the past and there’s no context as to why that annotation isn’t required."

From a student:
"In coding events auth and in the auth studio, we do not use the @repository annotation on the user repository, I was wondering why we wouldn't use this annotation when up to this point we have used it? There is a gap in understanding when and when not to use the annotation from the readings and studios."
