Is there a spring lazy proxy factory in Spring?
lazy-evaluation, proxy, spring
Solution
See LazyInitTargetSource; that might do what you want. It requires use of lazy-init="true" on the target bean as well, though.
Problem
Wicket has this device called a lazy proxy factory. Given: ``` <property name="foo" ref="beanx"/> ``` the idea is to auto-generate a proxy in place of 'beanx', and then only initialize beanx if and when something actually calls a method on it. It seems as if this might be a core Spring capability. Is it there somewhere?
