you can use a no-arg constructor and an init method annotated with
@PostConstruct. So something like this:
@PostConstruct
private void init() { // init bean here }
However, you can't pass arguments neither to the constructor nor to
this init method. You need to 1) get everything you need from the
context or 2) set them from outside via setter methods.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jakob
