AbstractHttpServiceRegistrar's classpath scanner uses AnnotationTypeFilter with considerInterfaces=true so that types can be discovered through an @HttpExchange-annotated interface. However, isCandidateComponent() did not verify that the discovered type itself was an interface. As a result, concrete classes implementing an @HttpExchange interface were also registered as HTTP service clients, causing proxy creation to fail later with "is not an interface".

The change correctly restricts HTTP Service scanning to interfaces by checking metadata.isInterface() which prevents implementation classes from being registered as HTTP Service clients. The regression test using EchoAImpl verifies the reported scenario which ensures the intended interfaces are only registered. Looks good to me. Approved.
