/**
 * Managed instance field value injection. This annotation takes effect only when applied to managed classes fields; on other
 * contexts is simply ignored. Usually target fields are of managed class type but plain Java objects are supported, of course
 * if instantiable with no argument. Field access modifier is not relevant but is not allowed to use this annotation on final or
 * static fields.
 * 
 * As result from sample code below injection annotation does not have any parameters.
 * 
 * 
 * class DaoImpl implements Dao {
 * 	@Inject
 * 	private SessionManager sm;
 * 	...
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * Field injection is in contrast with constructor injection that can be enacted by simple declaring constructor with fields to
 * inject. Above fields injection can be rewritten as sample below.
 * 
 * 
 * class DaoImpl implements Dao {
 * 	private final SessionManager sm;
 * 	...
 * 	public DaoImpl(SesionManager sm) {
 * 		this.sm = sm;
 * 	}
 * }
 *
