/**
* Factory hook that allows for custom modification of an application context's
* bean definitions, adapting the bean property values of the context's underlying
* bean factory.
*
* Useful for custom config files targeted at system administrators that
* override bean properties configured in the application context. See
* {@link PropertyResourceConfigurer} and its concrete implementations for
* out-of-the-box solutions that address such configuration needs.
*
*
A {@code BeanFactoryPostProcessor} may interact with and modify bean
* definitions, but never bean instances. Doing so may cause premature bean
* instantiation, violating the container and causing unintended side-effects.
* If bean instance interaction is required, consider implementing
* {@link BeanPostProcessor} instead.
*
*
Registration
* An {@code ApplicationContext} auto-detects {@code BeanFactoryPostProcessor}
* beans in its bean definitions and applies them before any other beans get created.
* A {@code BeanFactoryPostProcessor} may also be registered programmatically
* with a {@code ConfigurableApplicationContext}.
*
*
Ordering
* {@code BeanFactoryPostProcessor} beans that are autodetected in an
* {@code ApplicationContext} will be ordered according to
* {@link org.springframework.core.PriorityOrdered} and
* {@link org.springframework.core.Ordered} semantics. In contrast,
* {@code BeanFactoryPostProcessor} beans that are registered programmatically
* with a {@code ConfigurableApplicationContext} will be applied in the order of
* registration; any ordering semantics expressed through implementing the
* {@code PriorityOrdered} or {@code Ordered} interface will be ignored for
* programmatically registered post-processors. Furthermore, the
* {@link org.springframework.core.annotation.Order @Order} annotation is not
* taken into account for {@code BeanFactoryPostProcessor} beans.
