/**
*
* Indicates a method that must be executed before a bean instance is destroyed when a module is stopped.
*
*
*
* Unlike Beans with scope {@link Bean.Strategy#SINGLETON}, beans with scope {@link Bean.Strategy#PROTOTYPE} might not be destroyed and therefore destroy methods not invoked when they are created
* outside of a module and dereferenced before the module is stopped. As a result you should generally avoid defining destroy methods on beans with scope prototype. If you have this kind of use case,
* consider creating prototype beans that implement {@link AutoCloseable}, define the close()
as destroy method, make sure it can be invoked twice, and create new instances as follows to
* make sure instance are properly destroyed:
*
*
* {@code
* try (MyPrototype instance = myModuleInstance.myPrototype()) {
* ...
* }
* }
