advancedSpring Internals — Bean Lifecycle & Proxies

How can a custom FactoryBean accidentally bypass Spring AOP proxy creation?

AOP proxies are normally applied via BeanPostProcessor around the OBJECT a bean definition produces. If a FactoryBean's getObject() constructs and returns its target manually instead of going through the full Spring-managed creation path, the proxy-creation BeanPostProcessors may never get a chance to wrap it.
