/**
 * 
 * Specifies that a bean is application scoped.
 * 
 * 
 * While ApplicationScoped must be associated with the built-in application context required by the specification, 
 * third-party extensions are
 * allowed to also associate it with their own context. Behavior described below is only related to the built-in application context.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 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,
 * when the disposer method or @PreDestroy callback of any bean with any normal scope other than
 * @ApplicationScoped is called, and
 * during @PostConstruct callback of any bean.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 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.    
 * 
 * 
 * 
  * An event with qualifier @Initialized(ApplicationScoped.class) is fired when the application context is initialized
  * and an event with qualifier @Destroyed(ApplicationScoped.class) when the application context is destroyed.
  * The event payload is:
  * 
  * 
  * 
  * the ServletContext if the application is a web application deployed to a Servlet container, or
  * any java.lang.Object for other types of application.
