/**
 * 
 * Specifies that a bean is session scoped.
 * 
 * 
 * While SessionScoped must be associated with the built-in session 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 session context.
 * 
 * 
 * The session 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 HttpSessionListener, AsyncListener or
 * ServletRequestListener.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * The session context is shared between all servlet requests that occur in the same HTTP session.
 * 
 * 
 * The session context is destroyed:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * when the HTTPSession times out, after all HttpSessionListeners have been called, or
 * at the very end of
 * any request in which invalidate() was called, after all filters and ServletRequestListeners have been
 * called.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * An event with qualifier @Initialized(SessionScoped.class) is fired when the session context is initialized and an
 * event 
 * with qualifier @Destroyed(SessionScoped.class) when the session context is destroyed. The event payload is
 * the HttpSession
