/**
 * {@link org.springframework.aop.TargetSource} that lazily accesses a
 * singleton bean from a {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory}.
 *
 * <p>Useful when a proxy reference is needed on initialization but
 * the actual target object should not be initialized until first use.
 * When the target bean is defined in an
 * {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext} (or a
 * {@code BeanFactory} that is eagerly pre-instantiating singleton beans)
 * it must be marked as "lazy-init" too, else it will be instantiated by said
 * {@code ApplicationContext} (or {@code BeanFactory}) on startup.
 * <p>For example:
 *
 * <pre class="code">
 * &lt;bean id="serviceTarget" class="example.MyService" lazy-init="true"&gt;
 *   ...
 * &lt;/bean&gt;
 *
 * &lt;bean id="service" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="targetSource"&gt;
 *     &lt;bean class="org.springframework.aop.target.LazyInitTargetSource"&gt;
 *       &lt;property name="targetBeanName"&gt;&lt;idref local="serviceTarget"/&gt;&lt;/property&gt;
 *     &lt;/bean&gt;
 *   &lt;/property&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;</pre>
 *
 * The "serviceTarget" bean will not get initialized until a method on the
 * "service" proxy gets invoked.
 *
 * <p>Subclasses can extend this class and override the {@link #postProcessTargetObject(Object)} to
 * perform some additional processing with the target object when it is first loaded.
