Adding beans dinamically into the application context

[ziba]

Is it possible to create *new* beans dinamically inside a post processor and add them to the application context?

I tried to call beanFactory.registerBeanDefinition() inside postProcessAfterInitialization but an error occurs:

java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

Can you post the complete stacktrace?

[ziba]

Ths stack trace is just it. The rest is just from tomcat.

What I want to do is: when an specific type of bean is found, create dinamically a new bean related to the found one.

But where is the correct extension point to be used, so I can access the beanFactory when it is no "frozen"?
