A BeanPostProcessor definition with property values that need conversion may trigger SpEL resolution (even if no expression is being found) which in turn determines and caches the containing BeanFactory's ConversionService at the time of the first evaluation attempt. Since the BeanFactory's ConversionService can change in a later initialization phase, e.g. when the application context discovers a bean with the name "conversionService", we need to revise this towards on-demand access to ConfigurableBeanFactory.getConversionService() from StandardBeanExpressionResolver.
