In case of a Servlet request (request scoped beans are also tied to other
kinds of "requests"), it's indeed not clear. In practice it looks like the
moment between the first ServletRequestListener#requestInitialized and
ServletRequestListener#requestDestroyed.

The exact scope is troublesome for security too, since in most severs the
request scope (and session scope and application scope) is active when a
SAM is called (the SAM gets an HttpServletRequest after all), but this is
not the case in all servers. E.g. in Liberty the RequestScope starts AFTER
a SAM is called.

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
