This example show the use of `@ApplicationScoped` annotation for injected objects. An object
which is defined as `@ApplicationScoped` is created once for the duration of the application.

== Example

This example depicts a similar scenario to cdi-request-scope. A restaurant guest orders
a soup from the waiter. The waiter then delivers the soup back to the guest. Another
guest can order the same soup that was ordered by the previous client - this is where
the application scope is used.

=== Waiter

The `Waiter` session bean receives a request from the test class via the `orderSoup()` method
and sets the name for the `soup` field. The `orderWhatTheOtherGuyHad()` method returns
the name of the `soup` field.

....
@Stateless
public class Waiter {

    @Inject
    public Soup soup;

    public String orderSoup(String name){
        soup.setName(name);
        return soup.getName();
    }

    public String orderWhatTheOtherGuyHad() {
        String name = soup.getName();
        return name;
    }
}
....

=== Soup

The `Soup` class is an injectable POJO, defined as `@ApplicationScoped`. This means that an instance
will be created only once for the duration of the whole application. Try changing the `@ApplicationScoped`
annotation to `@RequestScoped` and see what happens.

....
@ApplicationScoped
public class Soup {

    private String name = "Soup of the day";

    @PostConstruct
    public void afterCreate() {
        System.out.println("Soup created");
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }
}
....

== Test Case

This is the entry class for this example. First a soup is ordered via `orderSoup()` method.
This initiates the `soup` field. Next, `orderWhatTheOtherGuyHad()` method returns the soup
from the application context.

....
public class RestaurantTest {

    private static String TOMATO_SOUP = "Tomato Soup";
    private EJBContainer container;

    @EJB
    private Waiter joe;

    @Before
    public void startContainer() throws Exception {
        container = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();
        container.getContext().bind("inject", this);
    }

    @Test
    public void orderSoup(){
        String someSoup = joe.orderSoup(TOMATO_SOUP);
        assertEquals(TOMATO_SOUP, someSoup);

        String sameSoup = joe.orderWhatTheOtherGuyHad();
        assertEquals(TOMATO_SOUP, sameSoup);
    }

    @After
    public void closeContainer() throws Exception {
        container.close();
    }
}
....

== Running

In the output you can see that there is just one `Soup` instance created - one for
the whole application.
