 === Disabling Specific Auto-configuration Classes
-If you find that specific auto-configuration classes that you do not want are being applied, you can use the exclude attribute of `@EnableAutoConfiguration` to disable them, as shown in the following example:
+If you find that specific auto-configuration classes that you do not want are being applied, you can use the exclude attribute of `@SpringBootApplication` to disable them, as shown in the following example:
 
 [source,java,indent=0]
 ----
 	import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.*;
 	import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.*;
-	import org.springframework.context.annotation.*;
 
-	@Configuration(proxyBeanMethods = false)
-	@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class})
-	public class MyConfiguration {
+	@SpringBootApplication(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class})
+	public class MyApplication {
 	}
 ----
 
 If the class is not on the classpath, you can use the `excludeName` attribute of the annotation and specify the fully qualified name instead.
+If you prefer to use `@EnableAutoConfiguration` rather than `@SpringBootApplication`, `exclude` and `excludeName` are also available.
 Finally, you can also control the list of auto-configuration classes to exclude by using the configprop:spring.autoconfigure.exclude[] property.
 
 TIP: You can define exclusions both at the annotation level and by using the property.
