can convert a value supplied in string format to all built-in types, such as `int`,
`long`, `String`, `boolean`, etc.

The Spring container validates the configuration of each bean as the container is
created, including the validation of whether bean reference properties refer to valid
beans. However, the bean properties themselves are not set until the bean __is actually
created__. Beans that are singleton-scoped and set to be pre-instantiated (the default)
are created when the container is created. Scopes are defined in
<<beans-factory-scopes>>. Otherwise, the bean is created only when it is requested.
Creation of a bean potentially causes a graph of beans to be created, as the bean's
dependencies and its dependencies' dependencies (and so on) are created and assigned.

those dependencies may show up late, i.e. on first creation of the affected bean.
