Async Bean initialization
<p>Initialization of a specific bean requires performing a network connection. This may take some time, and unnecessarily blocks the already long startup by a few seconds.</p>

<p>Is there any way for my bean to signal that it isn't yet initialized even after it exits the constructor, and then later, when it's ready, signal to the context that it now IS ready and it's status should be moved to "initialized".</p>
