 * 
 *         The depends-onType is used to express initialization 
 *         ordering dependencies between Singleton components.
 *         The depends-onType specifies the names of one or more
 *         Singleton beans in the same application as the referring
 *         Singleton, each of which must be initialized before
 *         the referring bean.  
 *         
 *         Each dependent bean is expressed using ejb-link syntax.
 *         The order in which dependent beans are initialized at 
 *         runtime is not guaranteed to match the order in which
 *         they are listed.
 *
