/**
 * Specifies that a bean is application scoped.
 * 
 * The application scope is active:
 * 
 * 
 * during the service() method of any servlet in 
 * the web application, during the doFilter() method of 
 * any servlet filter and when the container calls any 
 * ServletContextListener, HttpSessionListener, 
 * AsyncListener or ServletRequestListener,
 * during any Java EE web service invocation,
 * during any remote method invocation of any EJB, during 
 * any asynchronous method invocation of any EJB, during any 
 * call to an EJB timeout method and during message delivery 
 * to any EJB message-driven bean,
 * during any message delivery to a MessageListener 
 * for a JMS topic or queue obtained from the Java EE component 
 * environment, and
 * when the disposer method or @PreDestroy callback of 
 * any bean with any normal scope other than @ApplicationScoped
 * is called.
 * 
 * 
 * The application context is shared between all servlet requests, 
 * web service invocations, EJB remote method invocations, EJB
 * asynchronous method invocations, EJB timeouts and message 
 * deliveries to message-driven beans that execute within the same 
 * application. The application context is destroyed when the 
 * application is shut down.
