/**
*
* Identifies a producer method or field. May be applied to
* a method or field of a bean class.
*
* A producer method must be a non-abstract method of a managed
* bean class or session bean class. A producer method may be
* either static or non-static. If the bean is a session bean, the
* producer method must be either a business method of the EJB or
* a static method of the bean class.
*
*
* public class Shop {
* @Produces @ApplicationScoped
* @Catalog @Named("catalog")
* List<Product> getProducts() { ... }
* ...
* }
*
*
* A producer field must be a field of a managed bean class
* or session bean class. A producer field may be either static or
* non-static. If the bean is a session bean, the producer field
* must be a static field of the bean class.
*
*
* public class Shop {
* @Produces @ApplicationScoped
* @Catalog @Named("catalog")
* List<Product> products = ...;
* ...
* }
*
*
* If a producer method sometimes returns a null value, or if
* a producer field sometimes contains a null value when accessed,
* then the producer method or field must have scope
* {@link javax.enterprise.context.Dependent @Dependent}.
*
* A producer method return type or producer field type may not
* be a type variable.
*
* If the producer method return type or producer field type is
* a parameterized type, it must specify an actual type parameter
* or type variable for each type parameter.
*
* If the producer method return type or producer field type is
* a parameterized type with a type variable, it must have scope
* {@link javax.enterprise.context.Dependent @Dependent}.
*
* A producer method may have any number of parameters. All
* producer method parameters are injection points.
*
* public class OrderFactory {
*
* @Produces @ConversationScoped
* public Order createCurrentOrder(@New(Order.class) Order order, @Selected Product product) {
* order.setProduct(product);
* return order;
* }
*
* }
* A bean may declare multiple producer methods or fields.
*
* Producer methods and fields are not inherited by bean subclasses.
*
* Interceptors and decorators may not declare producer methods
* or fields.
