    Parameters:
    
    instance - The instance upon which to perform injection
    
    ctx - The CreationalContext to use for creating new instances
  - postConstruct
```

```
    Calls the PostConstruct callback, if it exists, according to the semantics required by the Java EE platform specification.
    
    Parameters:
    
    instance - The instance on which to invoke the PostConstruct method
  - preDestroy
```
void preDestroy(T instance)
```
    Calls the PreDestroy callback, if it exists, according to the semantics required by the Java EE platform specification.
