> sometimes it's neat to mark a bean as @Optional depending if a specified class can get loaded or not.
> This is a simple way to implement deployment specific functionality. 
> An example would be a BvalSupportBean which only should become active if the JSR-303 bean validation API can be found on the classpath.
