Annotation used to specify that a bean should be published as a service.

The behavior of this annotation depends on it's usage:

on the bean type - publish the service using all implemented interfaces. If there are no implemented interfaces use the bean class.
on the bean's type_use(s) - publish the service using the collected interface(s).

Use of @Service on both type and type_use will result in a definition error.

Where this annotation is used affects how service scopes are supported:

@SingleComponent, @FactoryComponent or @Dependent bean - The provided service can be of any scope. The bean can either implement ServiceFactory or PrototypeServiceFactory or use @Bundle or @Prototype to set it's service scope. If none of those options are used the service is a singleton scope service.
@ApplicationScoped bean - The provided service is a singleton scope service unless the bean implements ServiceFactory or PrototypeServiceFactory. It cannot use @Bundle or @Prototype to set it's service scope. Use of those annotations in this case will result in a definition error.
