Description

Mark raised this on the MP Spec. I think it would be a great idea to prototype this on geronimo side first. We can add support for injecting Supplier<T> and perhaps do the following:

• Defer look up of the value (don't cache it) until the get method is called
• If the property is not set, use the default value
• If the default value is the standard unconfigured value, return null.
• Otherwise convert the value.
