When does the system inject @Optional annotated fields? [message #989275]

I have some fields, which are annotated by @Optional.

@Optional
@Inject
EhandlerService
...

Those fields seem to be empty at creation time, because the required
objects are not yet in the Context,

But when the methods are executed, which use the Optional fields - the objects are there.

Question:
What happens, if the @Optional annotated fields could not be injected at creation time?
Will they be injected by te system, as soon as those objects become available?
