=== Things to Remember
When defining actions, guards or any other references from a
configuration there are things to remember how Spring Framework works
with beans. In below we have defined a normal configuration with
states `S1` and `S2` and 4 transitions between those. All transitions
are either guarded by `guard1` or `guard2`. Pay attention that
`guard1` is created as a real bean because it's annotated with a
_@Bean_, while `guard2` is not.
What this mean is that event `E3` would get `guard2` condition as
`TRUE` and `E4` would get `guard2` condition as `FALSE` as those are
simply coming from a plain method calls to those functions.
However because `guard1` is defined as a _@Bean_, it is proxied by a
Spring Framework, thus additional calls to its method will result
only one instantiation of that instance. Event `E1` would get first
proxied instance with condition `TRUE` while event `E2` would get same
instance with `TRUE` condition while method call was defined with
`FALSE`. This is not a Spring State Machine specific behaviour, it's
just how Spring Framework works with _Beans_.
