Answer 1

This is a fairly normal message. A BeanPostProcessor is a Spring construct for altering/wrapping/proxying beans in the context. Because of the way the context lifecycle works, some things have to be configured before the BeanPostProcessor get a look in, which leads to that message.

It's almost never anything to worry about, hence the INFO level. The components that trigger the message are usually Spring's own internal components.
