/**
*
* Allows the application to dynamically obtain instances of beans with a specified combination of required type and qualifiers.
*
*
*
* In certain situations, injection is not the most convenient way to obtain a contextual reference. For example, it may not be
* used when:
*
*
*
* - the bean type or qualifiers vary dynamically at runtime, or
* - depending upon the deployment, there may be no bean which satisfies the type and qualifiers, or
* - we would like to iterate over all beans of a certain type.
*
*
*
* In these situations, an instance of the Instance may be injected:
*
*
*
* @Inject
* Instance<PaymentProcessor> paymentProcessor;
*
*
*
* Any combination of qualifiers may be specified at the injection point:
*
*
*
* @Inject
* @PayBy(CHEQUE)
* Instance<PaymentProcessor> chequePaymentProcessor;
*
*
*
* Or, the {@link javax.enterprise.inject.Any @Any} qualifier may be used, allowing the application to specify qualifiers
* dynamically:
*
*
*
* @Inject
* @Any
* Instance<PaymentProcessor> anyPaymentProcessor;
*
*
*
* Finally, the {@link javax.enterprise.inject.New @New} qualifier may be used, allowing the application to obtain a
* {@link javax.enterprise.inject.New @New} qualified bean:
*
*
*
* @Inject
* @New(ChequePaymentProcessor.class)
* Instance<PaymentProcessor> chequePaymentProcessor;
*
*
*
* For an injected Instance:
*
*
*
* - the required type is the type parameter specified at the injection point, and
* - the required qualifiers are the qualifiers specified at the injection point.
*
*
*
* The inherited {@link javax.inject.Provider#get()} method returns a contextual references for the unique bean that matches the
* required type and required qualifiers and is eligible for injection into the class into which the parent Instance
* was injected, or throws an {@link javax.enterprise.inject.UnsatisfiedResolutionException} or
* {@link javax.enterprise.inject.AmbiguousResolutionException}.
*
*
*
* PaymentProcessor pp = chequePaymentProcessor.get();
*
*
*
* The inherited {@link java.lang.Iterable#iterator()} method returns an iterator over contextual references for beans that
* match the required type and required qualifiers and are eligible for injection into the class into which the parent
* Instance was injected.
*
*
*
* for (PaymentProcessor pp : anyPaymentProcessor)
* pp.test();
