/**
* <p>
* Meta annotation that is used to specify an invocation handler for
* automatically implemented bean.
* </p>
* <p/>
* <p>
* If the annotation that is annotated with this meta-annotation is applied to
* an interface or abstract class then the container will automatically provide
* a concrete implementation of the class/interface, and delegate all calls to
* abstract methods to the handler class specified by this annotations.
* </p>
* <p/>
* <p>
* The handler class must have a method with the following signature:
* </p>
* <p/>
* <pre>
* @AroundInvoke public Object aroundInvoke(final InvocationContext invocation) throws Exception
* </pre>
* <p/>
* <p>
* Initializer methods and <code>@PostConstruct</code> methods declared on the invocation
* handler will be called, however <code>@PreDestory</code> methods will not be called.
* </p>
* <p/>
* <p>
* The annotation should have:
* </p>
* <p/>
* <pre>
* @Retention(RUNTIME)
* @Target({ TYPE })
