TargetSourceCreator that enforces a LazyInitTargetSource for each bean that is defined as "lazy-init". This will lead to a proxy created for each of those beans, allowing to fetch a reference to such a bean without actually initialized the target bean instance.

To be registered as custom TargetSourceCreator for an auto-proxy creator, in combination with custom interceptors for specific beans or for the creation of lazy-init proxies only. For example, as autodetected infrastructure bean in an XML application context definition:

 <bean class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
   <property name="customTargetSourceCreators">
     <list>
       <bean class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.target.LazyInitTargetSourceCreator"/>
     </list>
   </property>
 </bean>

 <bean id="myLazyInitBean" class="mypackage.MyBeanClass" lazy-init="true">
   ...
 </bean>
