/**
* The built-in qualifier type.
*
* The @New qualifier allows the application
* to obtain a new instance of a bean which is not bound to
* the declared scope, but has had dependency injection
* performed.
*
*
* @Produces @ConversationScoped
* @Special Order getSpecialOrder(@New(Order.class) Order order) {
* ...
* return order;
* }
*
*
* When the @New qualifier is specified
* at an injection point and no
* {@link javax.enterprise.inject.New#value() value}
* member is explicitly specified, the container defaults
* the {@link javax.enterprise.inject.New#value() value}
* to the declared type of the injection point. So the
* following injection point has qualifier
* @New(Order.class):
*
*
* @Produces @ConversationScoped
* @Special Order getSpecialOrder(@New Order order) { ... }
