Re: [Springframework-developer] FW: [springframework - Help] AOP interception of FactoryBean components?

>Of course, a defined ProxyFactoryBean with a custom FactoryBean as target
would proxy the created object, as expected. But as Daniel noted, an auto
proxy creator would currently get applied to the FactoryBean instead of the
created object.

to be applied on the FactoryBean itself. Could we add a clean option to
apply bean post processors to the created objects, if demanded?

I think we should leave it that way by default, and perhaps add an
alternative option to post process created objects.

>BTW, I think that our current PropertyValuesProviderFactoryBean
sub-interface is useless. All the bean factory does with the PropertyValues
from there is to apply them to the created object via a newly instantiated
BeanWrapper: A FactoryBean implementation could easily do that itself with a
one-liner, if actually required.

Good point. Get rid of it if you like.
