 * The Resource annotation marks a resource that is needed

 * application component class, or to fields or methods of the
 * component class.  When the annotation is applied to a
 * field or method, the container will inject an instance
 * of the requested resource into the application component
 * when the component is initialized.  If the annotation is
 * applied to the component class, the annotation declares a
 * resource that the application will look up at runtime. <p>
 *
 * Even though this annotation is not marked Inherited, deployment
 * tools are required to examine all superclasses of any component
 * class to discover all uses of this annotation in all superclasses.
 * All such annotation instances specify resources that are needed
 * by the application component.  Note that this annotation may
 * appear on private fields and methods of superclasses; the container
 * is required to perform injection in these cases as well.
