/**
*
* The {@link New} qualifier was deprecated in CDI 1.1. CDI applications are encouraged to inject {@link Dependent} scoped beans
* instead.
*
*
*
* 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) { ... }
