/**
 * 
 * Specifies that a bean is request scoped.
 * 
 * 
 * While RequestScoped must be associated with the built-in request 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 request context.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * The request 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 ServletRequestListener or AsyncListener,
 * 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, and
 * during @PostConstruct callback of any bean.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * The request context is destroyed:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * at the end of the servlet request, after the service() method, all doFilter() methods, and all
 * requestDestroyed() and onComplete() notifications return,
 * after the web service invocation completes,
 * after the EJB remote method invocation, asynchronous method invocation, timeout or message delivery completes if it 
 * did not already exist when the invocation occurred, or
 * after the @PostConstruct callback completes, if it did not already exist when the @PostConstruct 
 * callback occurred.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * An event with qualifier @Initialized(RequestScoped.class) is fired when the request context is initialized and an
 * event 
 * with qualifier @Destroyed(RequestScoped.class) when the request context is destroyed. The event payload is:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * the ServletRequest if the context is initialized or destroyed due to a servlet request, or
 * the ServletRequest if the context is initialized or destroyed due to a web service invocation, or
 * any java.lang.Object for other types of request.
