  - ### initializeBeanContextResources

    protected void initializeBeanContextResources()
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    This method may be overridden by subclasses to provide their own initialization behaviors. When invoked any resources required by the BeanContextChild should be obtained from the current BeanContext.
