* Allows a bean to report the classloader that is appropriate for it and will be used

* are using a proxied bean or the implementation class is in the wrong classloader<br/>
* This is primarily used in the case of the {@link HttpServletAccessProvider}
* or {@link EntityViewAccessProvider}
* and the implementations of those should also implement this interface
* to be able to specify the classloader
