/**
* Designates fields, methods and constructors as injectable. Injectable can
* have any access qualifier (private, package-private, protected or public).
* It applies to static or instance members. The order of resolving injectable
* is as following:
* <lu>
* <li>Constructors</li>
* <li>Fields</li>
* <li>Methods</li>
* </lu>
*
* When resolving injectable super classes are resolved first.
*
* <h2>Example: injecting a servlet</h2>
*
* <code><pre>
* package example;
*
* import javax.servlet.*;
* import java.io.*;
* import javax.inject.*;
*
* public class MyServlet extends GenericServlet {
* {@literal @Inject} MyBean _bean;
*
* public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
* throws IOException
* {
* PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
*
* out.println("my-bean: " + _bean);
* }
