Spring Boot Java Config - split web (controllers, etc), and services - spring

Question

In my old XML config projects, I could do the following in my configurations
mvc-context.xml
<context:component-scan base-package="com.foo" use-default-filters="false">
<context:include-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller" type="annotation"/>
</context:component-scan>
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
service-context.xml
<context:spring-configured />
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.foo" >
<context:exclude-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller" type="annotation"/>
</context:component-scan>
in my tests, I could then do the following
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#WebAppConfiguration
#ContextHierarchy(value = {
#ContextConfiguration(classes = { MockServices.class }),
#ContextConfiguration({ "classpath:/META-INF/spring/mvc-servlet-context.xml" }),
})
public class FooControllerTest {
#Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;
private MockMvc mvc;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
mvc = webAppContextSetup(wac).build();
}
}
and I could then run tests against the my MVC configuration, without loading my services and JPA respositories, and instead have my mocks #Autowired into my controllers.
However, Spring Boot applications have the following in the main context configuration
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {
}
This #ComponentScan obviously finds all #Controller, #Service, etc
if I now tried to test my MVC context, I would load the unwanted services and repositories.
What I attempted to do was create 2 new configurations
Mvc.java
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.foo" }, useDefaultFilters = false, includeFilters = {#Filter(value = org.springframework.stereotype.Controller.class)} )
#Order(2)
public class Mvc {
}
Services.java
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.foo" }, useDefaultFilters = false, excludeFilters = {#Filter(value = org.springframework.stereotype.Controller.class)} )
#Order(1)
public class Services {
}
This however does not work, when I try start my app, I will get #Autowire errors No qualifying bean of type
Am I going about this the wrong way?
How do I make it so that I can run tests on my MVC context, without the time penalty of loading JPA EntityManagers, Spring Data Repositories, etc?

The solution M. Deinum gave in the comments is correct but may be you didn't get the hint.
when you say:
useDefaultFilters = false and excludeFilters = {#Filter(value = org.springframework.stereotype.Controller.class)}
nothing will be found because useDefaultFilters = false will prevent spring from looking for stereotype annotations like #Controller, #Service ...
