```
public interface BeanArchiveService
```
This Service returns information about scanned beans.xml files. The information needs to be available until release() gets invoked. This is usually at the end of the deployment phase. This SPI uses URLs as parameters because many virtual file systems do not store their resources on a file system and also are not able to move from the externalForm back to the original URL.
