Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] [servlet-dev] Pruning managed beans from th

[Scott Stark <starksm64@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since the ManagedBean spec only said one may use these
PostConstruct/PreDestroy annotations:

"Managed Beans may use the jakarta.annotation.PostConstruct and
jakarta.annotation.PreDestroy annotations to identify methods to be
called back by the container at the appropriate points in the bean’s
lifecycle."

The fact that the Serlvet spec dictates this is a required behavior
would simply indicate that it has adopted the common annotations in
that manner. It really has nothing to do with ManagedBeans in my view.
It is now also completely subsumed by the CDI reference to the
specification, so simply removing the reference to the Jakarta Managed
Beans specification is all the Serlvet spec needs to do.
