public abstract class LazyBean
extends Object

A base class for a Spring bean which allows for on-demand post-processing. That is, one of more getters (of computed properties) may be guarded using ensureProcessed(), which will trigger processing of the bean's properties via process(). After processing, no setter guarded with assertNotProcessed() (of raw properties) may be called, or else the bean may find itself in an inconsistent state whereby the computed properties do not match the raw ones. The receiver detects and blocks circular processing attempts, whereby two separate but mutually dependent beans attempt to process each other during their own processing, thereby leading to an endless cycle.
