/**
 * 
 * Annotation used for injecting EJB beans into objects within Stripes (usually action beans). The value of the
 * annotation represents the name of the EJB to inject. If the value is omitted then Stripes will attempt to auto-wire
 * first by property/field name and then by type.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Both methods and fields can be annotated. If a field is annotated Stripes will use field access to attempt to inject
 * the bean into the field. If a method is annotated Stripes will attempt to invoke the method and supply it the value
 * to inject. In both cases non-public fields/methods are supported (i.e. values can be injected into private fields and
 * through private methods).
