public class ObjectFactoryCreatingFactoryBean extends AbstractFactoryBean<ObjectFactory<Object>>
FactoryBean implementation that
 returns a value which is an ObjectFactory
 that in turn returns a bean sourced from a BeanFactory.
 As such, this may be used to avoid having a client object directly calling
 BeanFactory.getBean(String) to get
 a (typically prototype) bean from a
 BeanFactory, which would be a
 violation of the inversion of control principle. Instead, with the use
 of this class, the client object can be fed an
 ObjectFactory instance as a
 property which directly returns only the one target bean (again, which is
 typically a prototype bean).
 
A sample config in an XML-based
 BeanFactory might look as follows:
 
<beans>
   <!-- Prototype bean since we have state -->
   <bean id="myService" class="a.b.c.MyService" scope="prototype"/>
   <bean id="myServiceFactory"
       class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ObjectFactoryCreatingFactoryBean">
     <property name="targetBeanName"><idref local="myService"/></property>
   </bean>
   <bean id="clientBean" class="a.b.c.MyClientBean">
     <property name="myServiceFactory" ref="myServiceFactory"/>
   </bean>
</beans>
 The attendant MyClientBean class implementation might look
 something like this:
 
package a.b.c;
 import org.springframework.beans.factory.ObjectFactory;
 public class MyClientBean {
   private ObjectFactory<MyService> myServiceFactory;
   public void setMyServiceFactory(ObjectFactory<MyService> myServiceFactory) {
     this.myServiceFactory = myServiceFactory;
   }
   public void someBusinessMethod() {
     // get a 'fresh', brand new MyService instance
     MyService service = this.myServiceFactory.getObject();
     // use the service object to effect the business logic...
   }
 }
 An alternate approach to this application of an object creational pattern
 would be to use the ServiceLocatorFactoryBean
 to source (prototype) beans. The ServiceLocatorFactoryBean approach
 has the advantage of the fact that one doesn't have to depend on any
 Spring-specific interface such as ObjectFactory,
 but has the disadvantage of requiring runtime class generation. Please do
 consult the ServiceLocatorFactoryBean JavaDoc
 for a fuller discussion of this issue.

The target does not have to be a non-singleton bean, but realistically always will be (because if the target bean were a singleton, then said singleton bean could simply be injected straight into the dependent object, thus obviating the need for the extra level of indirection afforded by this factory approach).
