Thanks for your comments, guys. Yes, I did push the verbosity setting to the max to underline my point. Unfortunately, there is lot of naive, bloated Java code

Thanks for your comments, guys. Yes, I did push the verbosity setting to the max to underline my point. Unfortunately, there is lot of naive, bloated Java code out there (often much worse than this!) and some of us have to fix it for a living. I'll try to add an abstract singleton proxy bean factory next time :D
