 * An {@link InjectionTargetFactory} can create an {@link InjectionTarget} for a given bean.

 * 
 * <p>
 * The {@link InjectionTargetFactory} obtained from {@link BeanManager#getInjectionTargetFactory(AnnotatedType)} is capable of providing
 * container created injection targets. This factory can be wrapped to add behavior to container created injection targets.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * For example:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * BeanAttributes<MyBean> myBeanAttributes = beanManager.createBeanAttributes(myBeanAnnotatedType);
 * beanManager.createBean(myBeanAttributes, MyBean.class, new InjectionTargetFactory() {
 * 
 *     public <T> InjectionTarget<T> createInjectionTarget(Bean<T> bean) {
 *         return new WrappingInjectionTarget<T>(beanManager.getInjectionTargetFactory(myBeanAnnotatedType).createInjectionTarget(
 *                 bean));
 *     }
 * });
