/**
 * 
 * An {@link ProducerFactory} can create an {@link Producer} for a given bean.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * The {@link ProducerFactory} obtained from {@link BeanManager#getProducerFactory(AnnotatedMethod, Bean)} or
 * {@link BeanManager#getProducerFactory(AnnotatedField, Bean)} is capable of providing container created
 * producers. This factory can be wrapped to add behavior to container created producers.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * For example:
 * 
 * 
 *  * BeanAttributes<MyBean> myBeanAttributes = beanManager.createBeanAttributes(myBeanAnnotatedFieldField);
 * beanManager.createBean(myBeanAttributes, MyBean.class, new ProducerFactory() {
 * 
 *     public <T> Producer<T> createProducer(Bean<T> bean) {
 *         return new WrappingProducer<T>(beanManager.getProducerFactory(myBeanAnnotatedField).createProducer(bean));
 *     }
 * });
 *
