The bean can be notified of certain lifecycle events: for example, when a bean is created or destroyed.
In the following example, a method of the bean will receive an event when an instance of the bean is built. This is done by using the @PostConstruct annotation.
Llifecycle interceptors of a bean may be defined in another class.
/** * Notified of postconstruct event. */ @PostConstruct public void notified() { System.out.println("New instance of this bean"); }
