Spring default behavior for lazy-init

Question

I am beginner to spring, ESP Inversion of control. I was puzzled understanding the difference between the following

Answer 1

The lazy-init="default" setting on a bean only refers to what is set by the default-lazy-init attribute of the enclosing beans element. The implicit default value of default-lazy-init is false.

If there is no lazy-init attribute specified on a bean, it's always eagerly instantiated.
