/**
 * 
 * Can be used in a dolphin controller (see {@link com.canoo.dolphin.server.DolphinController}) to
 * define and inject the model of the controller (MVC group). In each dolphin controller only one field can
 * be annoted by {@link com.canoo.dolphin.server.DolphinModel} and the field type must match the model
 * definition of the Dolphin Platform (see {@link com.canoo.dolphin.mapping.DolphinBean} for a detailed definition).
 *
 * 
 * As defined by the Dolphin Platform all models will be automatically synchronized between client and server. See
 * {@link com.canoo.dolphin.mapping.DolphinBean} for more details.
 * 

 * 

 *
 * 
 * A model that is injected by using {@link com.canoo.dolphin.server.DolphinModel} will automatically be create when the
 * server controller is created and will be destroyed with the controller. By doing so the complete MVC group (shared
 * model, controller on server side and the view on client side) will have the same lifecycle and the model can easily
 * be accessed from client and server.
 *
 * 
 * Example:
 *

 *  *     {@literal @}DolphinController("my-controller")
 *     public class MyController {
 *
 *          {@literal @}DolphinModel
 *          private MyModel model;
 *
 *         {@literal @}PostContruct()
 *         private void init() {
 *             model.setViewTitle("My View");
 *         };
 *     }
 * 
 *
