Filter bindings are intermediate annotations that may be used to associate Filters with target beans.

Filter bindings are used by annotating a FilterFactory bean with the binding type annotations. Wherever the same annotation is used at an injection point that requires a Filter the corresponding factory's FilterFactory.create(java.lang.annotation.Annotation) method is called to produce a Filter instance.
