## org.springframework.aop.target
Class LazyInitTargetSource

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.aop.target.AbstractBeanFactoryBasedTargetSource
          org.springframework.aop.target.LazyInitTargetSource

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, TargetClassAware, TargetSource, BeanFactoryAware

    public class LazyInitTargetSource

extends AbstractBeanFactoryBasedTargetSource

`TargetSource` that lazily accesses a singleton bean from a `BeanFactory`.

Useful when a proxy reference is needed on initialization but the actual target object should not be initialized until first use. When the target bean is defined in an `ApplicationContext` (or a `BeanFactory` that is eagerly pre-instantiating singleton beans) it must be marked as "lazy-init" too, else it will be instantiated by said `ApplicationContext` (or `BeanFactory`) on startup.

For example:

     <bean id="serviceTarget" class="example.MyService" lazy-init="true">
       ...
     </bean>

     <bean id="service" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">
       <property name="targetSource">
         <bean class="org.springframework.aop.target.LazyInitTargetSource">
           <property name="targetBeanName"><idref local="serviceTarget"/></property>
         </bean>
       </property>
     </bean>

The "serviceTarget" bean will not get initialized until a method on the "service" proxy gets invoked.

Subclasses can extend this class and override the `postProcessTargetObject(Object)` to perform some additional processing with the target object when it is first loaded.

Method Detail

### getTarget

    public Object getTarget()
                     throws BeansException

  Description copied from interface: `TargetSource`
