 When the CDI container instantiates `MyAppBean`, it will inject a dynamic proxy into
 the `stringServiceClient` field, and then provide the necessary logic for the proxy
 methods to convert a method call into a gRPC call.

+=== Injecting Channels
+
+Channels can also be directly injected into application bean instances.
+The Helidon gRPC client API has CDI producers to inject `io.grpc.Channel` instances.
+
+For example, a class might have an injectable `io.grpc.Channel` field as follows:

+An injected channel can be used, for example, when directly instantiating `protoc` generated stubs.
