[Building Sakai] Understanding Sakai tool source ?

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Beans defined in components.xml are visible in the sakai component
manager and thus are accessible by all other parts of the sakai
application. Beans defined in your applicationContext are only visible
and accessible in your webapp. The main reason for putting beans into
the components.xml is to make them accessible to others or to the
framework (e.g. hibernate DAOs). Otherwise you should keep the bean
definitions in your webapp (i.e. applicationContext.xml).

Hope that helps
