Web Beans annotation syntax

[gonorrhea]

This is from a recent DAllen post:

public
@Stateless
class AccountProducerBean implements AccountProducer
{
    @PersistenceContext EntityManager em;

    @Current Identity identity;

    public
    @Produces
    @Registered
    @SessionScoped
    User getCurrentUser()
    {
        User user = em.find(User.class, identity.getUsername());
        return user != null ? user : new User();
    }
}

Note that public access modifier keyword comes before the annotations.  Is this required syntax by Web Beans RI or is it merely preference by DAllen?

I guess I should just experiment by modifying the example apps that ship with the RI distro...

Perference. Web Beans can't even enforce stuff like that, it's Java. A bit like preferring static final String instead of final static String.
