/**
* The PreDestroy
annotation is used on a method as a
* callback notification to signal that the instance is in the
* process of being removed by the container. The method annotated
* with PreDestroy
is typically used to
* release resources that it has been holding. This annotation must be
* supported by all container-managed objects that support the use of
* the PostConstruct
annotation except the Java EE application
* client. The method on which the PreDestroy
annotation
* is applied must fulfill all of the following criteria:
*
InvocationContext
* object as defined by the Interceptors specification.* void <METHOD>(InvocationContext) *
* Object <METHOD>(InvocationContext) throws Exception *
* Note: A PreDestroy 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 * PreDestroy interceptor method returns a value, it is ignored by * the container. *
* void <METHOD>() *
