@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(TYPE)
public @interface StoreEntry
An annotation to describe a class as a SToreEntry. For each class a.b.X
that is annotated with @StoreEntry, an APT will be used to generate
a class a.b.X_
For each attribute A of type T in X, a.b.X_ contains a (static) field whose
type is SessionAttributeMetadata. SessionAttributeMetadata describes the attribute
by giving its (java) type, name etc.
Also, for each a.b.X a sub-class by name a.b.X_Storable will also be generated.
a.b.X_Storable will implement Storable interface. The Storable interface allows
a Store implementation to detect dirty attributes. An attribute A is dirty, if
its setter method (or the method that was annotated with @Attribute("A") was
invoked). An instance of a.b.X_Storable can be obtained by calling
BackingStore.getStorable()
An annotation that can be used to declare a String Attribute
as a Version. Version attribute is a special attribute of
a StoreEntry.
