Annotation Interface PreDestroy

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(METHOD)
public @interface PreDestroy

Marks a zero-arg method to be invoked by Context.close() when the owning Context is closed. Methods are invoked in reverse topological order: dependents are destroyed before their dependencies.

Only methods on instantiated Singleton-scoped objects are invoked; objects that were never created during the lifetime of the context are silently skipped.
