Annotation Type WithSpan

@Target(value={METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface WithSpan

This annotation marks that an execution of this method or constructor should result in a new Span.

Application developers can use this annotation to signal OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation that a new span should be created whenever marked method is executed.

If you are a library developer, then probably you should NOT use this annotation, because it is non-functional without the OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation agent, or some other annotation processor.
