/**
* The @StartupType annotation marks an annotation as triggering a
* startup event for the bean.
*
* When Resin's WebBeans starts, it will fire Bean events with
* the @BindingType for the startup annotation, e.g.
*
* <code><pre>
* fireEvent(bean, [@ServiceBinding]);
* </pre></code>
*
* The event handling is handled by a normal observer which will register
* or start the bean as appropriate.
