/**
* The PostConstruct annotation is used on a method that needs to be executed
* after dependency injection is done to perform any initialization. This
* method MUST be invoked before the class is put into service. This
* annotation MUST be supported on all classes that support dependency
* injection. The method annotated with PostConstruct MUST be invoked even
* if the class does not request any resources to be injected. Only one
* method can be annotated with this annotation. The method on which the
* PostConstruct annotation is applied MUST fulfill all of the following
* criteria:
* <p>
* <ul>
* <li>The method MUST NOT have any parameters except in the case of
* interceptors in which case it takes an InvocationContext object as
* defined by the Interceptors specification.</li>
* <li>The method defined on an interceptor class MUST HAVE one of the
* following signatures:
* <p>
* void <METHOD>(InvocationContext)
* <p>
* Object <METHOD>(InvocationContext) throws Exception
* <p>
* <i>Note: A PostConstruct interceptor method must not throw application
* exceptions, but it may be declared to throw checked exceptions including
* the java.lang.Exception if the same interceptor method interposes on
* business or timeout methods in addition to lifecycle events. If a
* PostConstruct interceptor method returns a value, it is ignored by
* the container.</i>
* </li>
* <li>The method defined on a non-interceptor class MUST HAVE the
* following signature:
* <p>
* void <METHOD>()
* </li>
* <li>The method on which PostConstruct is applied MAY be public, protected,
* package private or private.</li>
* <li>The method MUST NOT be static except for the application client.</li>
* <li>The method MAY be final.</li>
* <li>If the method throws an unchecked exception the class MUST NOT be put into
* service except in the case of EJBs where the EJB can handle exceptions and
* even recover from them.</li></ul>
