/**
* The presence of this annotation on a class
* automatically registers the class with the runtime as a managed bean class.
* Classes must be scanned for the presence of this annotation at application
* startup, before any requests have been serviced.
*
*
*
*
* The value of the {@link #name} attribute is taken to be the
* managed-bean-name. If the value of the name
* attribute is unspecified or is the empty String, the
* managed-bean-name is derived from taking the unqualified class name
* portion of the fully qualified class name and converting the first character
* to lower case. For example, if the ManagedBean annotation is on
* a class with the fully qualified class name com.foo.Bean, and
* there is no
* name attribute on the annotation, the
* managed-bean-name is taken to be bean. The fully
* qualified class name of the class to which this annotation is attached is
* taken to be the managed-bean-class.
*
*
* The scope of the managed bean is declared using one of {@link
* NoneScoped}, {@link RequestScoped}, {@link ViewScoped}, {@link
* SessionScoped}, {@link ApplicationScoped}, or {@link CustomScoped}
* annotations. If the scope annotations are omitted, the bean must be handled
* as if the {@link RequestScoped} annotation is present.
*
*
* If the value of the {@link #eager} attribute is true, and the
* managed-bean-scope value is "application", the runtime must
* instantiate this class when the application starts. This instantiation and
* storing of the instance must happen before any requests are serviced. If
* eager is unspecified or false, or the
* managed-bean-scope is something other than "application", the
* default "lazy" instantiation and scoped storage of the managed bean
* happens.
*
*
* When the runtime processes this annotation, if a managed bean exists whose
* name is equal to the derived managed-bean-name, a
* FacesException must be thrown and the application must not be
* placed in service.
*
*
* A class tagged with this annotation must have a public zero-argument
* constructor. If such a constructor is not defined on the class, a
* FacesException must be thrown and the application must not be
* placed in service.
*
*
*
* @since 2.0
* @deprecated This has been replaced by the Managed Beans specification in
* general and specifically the dependency injection, scopes and naming
* from the CDI specification. Note that the eager attribute
* for application scoped beans is replaced specifically by observing
* the {@code javax.enterprise.context.Initialized} event for
* {@code javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped}. See 6.7.3 of the CDI
* spec for further details.
