[Springframework-developer] Forcing dependencies between singleton beans without one actually being a property of another

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

I had a co-worker ask me if there was a way to force the creation/usage 
of a singleton bean B to first create another bean, A, without A 
actually needing to be a property of B. He needs this because A has some 
side-effects which B depends on, to work properly.

Of course there are some artificial ways to cause this to happen, but I 
can't think of anything too clean. Is this worth adding as a built-in 
capability?
