025/**
026 * Method annotation used for methods that should be invoked when the page is first attached to a request. This is
027 * useful for initializations that should occur on each request that involves the page. Often, such initializations will
028 * be balanced by cleanups when the page is detached.
029 *
030 * PageAttached methods should take no parameters and return void. They must either have this annotation, or be named
031 * "pageAttached".
032 *
033 * To be clear: methods with this annotation (or name) are still invoked even in Tapestry 5.2, which does away with
034 * the page pool.
