/**
* The PreDestroy annotation is used on a method as a
* callback notification to signal that the instance is in the
* process of being removed by the container. The method annotated
* with PreDestroy is typically used to
* release resources that it has been holding. This annotation must be
* supported by all container-managed objects that support the use of
* the PostConstruct annotation except the Java EE application
* client. The method on which the PreDestroy annotation
* is applied must fulfill all of the following criteria:
*
* - The method must not have any parameters except in the case of
* interceptors in which case it takes an
InvocationContext
* object as defined by the Interceptors specification.
* - The method defined on an interceptor class or superclass of an
* interceptor class must have one of the following signatures:
*
* void <METHOD>(InvocationContext)
*
* Object <METHOD>(InvocationContext) throws Exception
*
* Note: A PreDestroy interceptor method must not throw application
* exceptions, but it may be declared to throw checked exceptions including
* the java.lang.Exception if the same interceptor method interposes on
* business or timeout methods in addition to lifecycle events. If a
* PreDestroy interceptor method returns a value, it is ignored by
* the container.
*
* - The method defined on a non-interceptor class must have the
* following signature:
*
* void <METHOD>()
*
* - The method on which PreDestroy is applied may be public, protected,
* package private or private.
* - The method must not be static.
* - The method should not be final.
* - If the method throws an unchecked exception it is ignored by
* the container.
