How to set a default method to running code on the creation or destruction of a bean

In the post Executing code on the creation or destruction of a bean in Spring I explain three ways to execute code on the creation or destruction of a Bean in Spring.
With two of these ways you can set the execution of a specific custom method:

  • with the annotations @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy
  • configuring the properties init-method and destroy-method

There is a very convenient way in the case that more beans have methods with the same name to be executed on their creation and destruction, i.e. you can specify a default method for all the beans.
