020    /** The BridgeRequestScopeAttributeAdded annotation is used on methods as a callback
021     * notification to signal that the instance is in the process of being added
022     * to the container's request scope and that this attribute will be managed
023     * in the bridge request scope.  This signal can be used by the instance to flag 
024     * that its <code>javax.annotation.PreDestroy</code> method should not perform any cleanup
025     * and instead rely on the method annotated with 
026     * <code>javax.portlet.faces.annotation.PreDestroy</code> to do so. The method on
027     * which the PreDestroy annotation is applied MUST
028     * fulfill all of the following criteria - The method MUST NOT have any parameters -
029     * The return type of the method MUST be void. - The method MUST NOT throw a checked
030     * exception. - The method on which PreDestroy is applied MUST be public. - The
031     * method MUST NOT be static. - The method MAY be final. - If the method throws an
032     * unchecked exception it is ignored.
