8. Notice that this *path operation function* uses regular `def` instead of `async def`.

    As always, in FastAPI you can combine `def` and `async def` as needed.

    If you need a refresher about when to use which, check out the section _"In a hurry?"_ in the docs about [`async` and `await`](../async.md#in-a-hurry){.internal-link target=_blank}.

     * <ul>
     * <li>use either / or \ file path separator</li>
     * <li>have .. parent directory references</li>
     * <li>point either at file or directory, in the latter case POM file name 'pom.xml' needs to be used by the
     * requested model source.</li>
     * </ul>
     *
     * @param relPath is the path of the requested model source relative to this model source POM.

### 3. Example

    @Deprecated
    String ROLE = LifecycleExecutor.class.getName();

    // For a given project packaging find all the plugins that are bound to any registered
    // lifecycles. The project builder needs to now what default plugin information needs to be
    // merged into POM being built. Once the POM builder has this plugin information, versions can be assigned

When you declare a dependency with a `scope="request"` (the default), any sub-dependency needs to also have a `scope` of `"request"`.

But a dependency with `scope` of `"function"` can have dependencies with `scope` of `"function"` and `scope` of `"request"`.

This is because any dependency needs to be able to run its exit code before the sub-dependencies, as it might need to still use them during its exit code.

* The frontend stores that token temporarily somewhere.
* The user clicks in the frontend to go to another section of the frontend web app.
* The frontend needs to fetch some more data from the API.
    * But it needs authentication for that specific endpoint.
    * So, to authenticate with our API, it sends a header `Authorization` with a value of `Bearer ` plus the token.
