Bean Lifecycle in Spring?

The Spring Bean lifecycle is managed by the Spring Container.

1. Instantiation: The container creates the bean instance.
2. Populate Properties: Dependencies are injected.
3. Aware Interfaces: If the bean implements BeanNameAware, BeanFactoryAware, etc., those methods are called.
4. Post Processor (Before): postProcessBeforeInitialization is called.
5. Initialisation: afterPropertiesSet (InitializingBean) or custom init-method.
6. Post Processor (After): postProcessAfterInitialization is called.
7. Ready: Bean is ready for use.
8. Destruction: destroy (DisposableBean) or custom destroy-method.
