/**
* Callback interface triggered at the end of the singleton pre-instantiation phase
* during {@link BeanFactory} bootstrap. This interface can be implemented by
* singleton beans in order to perform some initialization after the regular
* singleton instantiation algorithm, avoiding side effects with accidental early
* initialization (e.g. from {@link ListableBeanFactory#getBeansOfType} calls).
* In that sense, it is an alternative to {@link InitializingBean} which gets
* triggered right at the end of a bean's local construction phase.
*
* This callback variant is somewhat similar to
* {@link org.springframework.context.event.ContextRefreshedEvent} but doesn't
* require an implementation of {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener},
* with no need to filter context references across a context hierarchy etc.
* It also implies a more minimal dependency on just the {@code beans} package
* and is being honored by standalone {@link ListableBeanFactory} implementations,
* not just in an {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext} environment.
*
*
NOTE: If you intend to start/manage asynchronous tasks, preferably
* implement {@link org.springframework.context.Lifecycle} instead which offers
* a richer model for runtime management and allows for phased startup/shutdown.

NOTE: This callback won't be triggered for singleton beans
