/**
 * 
 * The container fires an event of this type for each enabled bean, interceptor or decorator deployed in a bean archive, before
 * registering the {@link javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Bean} object.
 * 
 * 
 * The event object type depends upon what kind of bean was discovered:
 * 
 * 
 * For a managed bean with bean class X, the container must raise an event of type
 * {@link javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ProcessManagedBean}.
 * For a session bean with bean class X, the container must raise an event of type
 * {@link javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ProcessSessionBean}.
 * For a producer method with method return type X of a bean with bean class T, the container must raise an event of type
 * {@link javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ProcessProducerMethod}.
 * For a producer field with field type X of a bean with bean class T, the container must raise an event of type
 * {@link javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ProcessProducerField}.
 * For a custom implementation of {@link Bean}, the container must raise an event of type {@link ProcessSyntheticBean}.
 * 
 * 
 * Resources are considered to be producer fields.
 * 
 * 
 * If any observer method of a {@code ProcessBean} event throws an exception, the exception is treated as a definition error by
 * the container.
 * 
 * 
 * @see Bean
 * @author David Allen
 * @param  The class of the bean
