Annotation Type Specializes
- @Target(value={TYPE,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface Specializes
Indicates that a bean directly specializes another bean.
 May be applied to a bean class or producer method.
 
 If a bean directly specializes a second bean, it
 inherits:
 
 
 - all qualifiers of the second bean, and
- the name, if any, of the second bean.
If the second bean has a name, the bean may not 
 declare a name using
 @Named. Furthermore, 
 the bean must have all the bean types of the second
 bean.
 
 
 - If a bean class of a managed bean is annotated 
 @Specializes, then the bean class must 
 directly extend the bean class of a second managed bean. 
 Then the first managed bean directly specializes the 
 second managed bean.
- If a bean class of a session bean is annotated 
 @Specializes, then the bean class must 
 directly extend the bean class of a second session bean. 
 Then the first session bean directly specializes the 
 second session bean.
- If a producer method is annotated 
 @Specializes, then it must be non-static 
 and directly override another producer method. Then the 
 first producer method directly specializes the second
 producer method.
If a bean is specialized by any enabled bean, the
 first bean is disabled.
