After reading this chapter, you should now have a good idea about the Spring bean life cycle in the container, and the several types of bean scope in a container. You now know that there are three phases of the Spring bean life cycle in the container. The first is the initialization phase. In this phase, Spring loads the bean definitions from XML, Java, or Annotation configurations. After loading these beans, the container constructs each bean, and applies the post-process logic on that bean.
