[jsr-314-open-mirror] [jsr-314-open] [2.0RevA-C071] none scoped beans and @PostConstruct

[Martin Marinschek]

Hi Ed,

please take a look at other bean-containers before you decide - Spring
e.g. does call init-methods on prototype bean, if so configured. I
think the user would be very surprised if s/he annotates a method and
it is not being called.

best regards,

Martin
