[jsr236-spec users] Annotations to create JSR 236 objects

There is already a recommended JNDI namespace and default objects for
JSR 236 objects.

However I can define JMS destinations from within the application as:

@JMSDestinationDefinitions({_at_JMSDestinationDefinition(name =
"java:global/jms/mySyncQueue",
         resourceAdapterName = "jmsra",
         className = "javax.jms.Queue",
         destinationName="syncQueue",
         description="My Sync Queue"),
     @JMSDestinationDefinition(name = "java:global/jms/myAsyncQueue",
         resourceAdapterName = "jmsra",
         className = "javax.jms.Queue",
         destinationName="asyncQueue",
         description="My Async Queue")
})

JSR 919 (JavaMail) is adding MailSessionDefinition and
MailSessionDefinitions with the upcoming MR:

http://kenai.com/projects/javamail/sources/mercurial/content/doc/spec/JavaMail-1.5-changes.txt

Any plans to support to similar annotations to create
ManagedExecutorService, ManagedScheduledExecutorService,
ManagedThreadFactory, and ContextService ?

I'd love to create an application as:

@ManagedExecutorService(name="java:comp/concurrent/myExecutor")
@WebServlet(urlPatterns={ "/myServlet" })

and see the runtime create the appropriate JNDI resource for me.
Similarly for others too.

This will also bring some more alignment with rest of the Java EE 7
platform.
