public @interface ApplicationScoped
Specifies that a bean is application scoped.
 
 The application scope is active:
 
 
 - during the service() method of any servlet in 
 the web application, during the doFilter() method of 
 any servlet filter and when the container calls any 
 ServletContextListener, HttpSessionListener, 
 AsyncListener or ServletRequestListener,
- during any Java EE web service invocation,
- during any asynchronous observer method notification,
- during any remote method invocation of any EJB, during 
 any asynchronous method invocation of any EJB, during any 
 call to an EJB timeout method and during message delivery 
 to any EJB message-driven bean,
- during any message delivery to a MessageListener 
 for a JMS topic or queue obtained from the Java EE component 
 environment, and
- when the disposer method or @PreDestroy callback of 
 any bean with any normal scope other than @ApplicationScoped
 is called.
The application context is shared between all servlet 
 requests, asynchronous observer method notifications, web 
 service invocations, EJB remote method invocations, EJB
 asynchronous method invocations, EJB timeouts and message 
 deliveries to message-driven beans that execute within the 
 same application. The application context is destroyed when 
 the application is shut down.
