I don't really like the "Service" part of the names given.  Is this really a service?  To me that implies a piece of code that you give some inputs to, it does some work, and returns a value (over and over).  

Web Beans goes beyond that.  It is more like a manager, system, or controller.  Perhaps "Contextual Lifecycle Controller".  But that does not really role off the tongue like web beans. 

"Java-EE IoC"?  It rhymes :)
