A bean definition processor is a processor that is called once for each bean annotated with the given annotation type.

The AnnotationProcessor.process(BeanDefinition, Object) method will receive each BeanDefinition and the BeanContext as arguments.


If the processor needs to be executed as startup it should be define as a Context scoped bean.
