/**
* Interface for marking a class property as an attribute in a DynamoDB table.
* Applied to the getter method of a modeled property.
*
* This annotation is optional when the name of the DynamoDB attribute matches
* the name of the property declared in the class. When they differ, use this
* annotation with the attributeName() parameter to specify which DynamoDB
* attribute this property corresponds to. Furthermore, the
* {@link DynamoDBMapper} class assumes Java naming conventions, and will
* lower-case the first character of a getter method's property name to
* determine the name of the property. E.g., a method getValue() will map to the
* DynamoDB attribute "value". Similarly, a method isValid() maps to the
* DynamoDB attribute "valid".
*
* Even getter method not marked with this annotation are assumed to be modeled
* properties, unless marked with {@link DynamoDBIgnore}.
*
* @deprecated Use {@link com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.DynamoDBAttribute} instead.
