/**
 * The presence of this annotation on a type indicates that the type may be
 * used with the
 * Google Web Toolkit (GWT).
 * When applied to a method, the return type of the method is GWT compatible.
 * It's useful to indicate that an instance created by factory methods has a GWT
 * serializable type.  In the following example,
 *
 * 
 * {@literal @}GwtCompatible
 * class Lists {
 *   ...
 *   {@literal @}GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
 *   static <E> List<E> newArrayList(E... elements) {
 *     ...
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* The return value of {@code Lists.newArrayList(E[])} has GWT * serializable type. It is also useful in specifying contracts of interface * methods. In the following example, * *
 * {@literal @}GwtCompatible
 * interface ListFactory {
 *   ...
 *   {@literal @}GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
 *   <E> List<E> newArrayList(E... elements);
 * }
 * 
* The {@code newArrayList(E[])} method of all implementations of {@code * ListFactory} is expected to return a value with a GWT serializable type. * *

Note that a {@code GwtCompatible} type may have some {@link * GwtIncompatible} methods. * * @author Charles Fry * @author Hayward Chan */ @Retention(RetentionPolicy.CLASS) @Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD }) @Documented @GwtCompatible public @interface GwtCompatible { /** * When {@code true}, the annotated type or the type of the method return * value is GWT serializable. * * @see * Documentation about GWT serialization */ boolean serializable() default false; /** * When {@code true}, the annotated type is emulated in GWT. The emulated * source (also known as super-source) is different from the implementation * used by the JVM. * * @see * Documentation about GWT emulated source */ boolean emulated() default false; }
