/**
 * Annotation to obtain fine grain control over behavior of
 * {@link JavaInterop#asJavaObject(java.lang.Class, com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.TruffleObject)}
 * wrapper interfaces. The interface created by
 * {@link JavaInterop#asJavaObject(java.lang.Class, com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.TruffleObject)}
 * method implements its methods by sending {@link Message messsages} to {@link TruffleObject}
 * provided at the time of construction. There is a default sequence of operations for each method,
 * which is good enough to read fields or invoke methods. However the
 * {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.interop Interop API} is far richer and supports additional
 * {@link Message messages} (not only the well known ones, but also arbitrary custom ones). To
 * control which {@link Message} is sent one can annotate each method by this annotation.
 * 
Writing to a field
For example to write to field x of a JSON object: * *
 * var obj = { 'x' : 5 }
 * 
* * one can define the appropriate wrapper interface as: * *
 * interface ObjInterop {
 *   {@link MethodMessage @MethodMessage}(message = "WRITE")
 *   void x(int value);
 * }
 * 
* * Then one can change the value of field x in obj from Java by calling: * *
 * {@link JavaInterop#asJavaObject(java.lang.Class, com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.TruffleObject) JavaInterop.asJavaObject}(ObjInterop.class, obj).x(10);
 * 
* * the value of the x field is going to be 10 then. * *
Checking for Null
* * {@link JavaInteropSnippets#isNullValue} * * @since 0.9 */ @Target(ElementType.METHOD) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) public @interface MethodMessage { /** * Identification of the {@link Message message} to send. Well known messages include fields of * the {@link Message} class (e.g. "READ", "WRITE", "UNBOX", * IS_NULL) or slightly mangled names of {@link Message} class factory methods ( * EXECUTE, INVOKE). For more details on the string encoding of message names * see {@link Message#valueOf(java.lang.String)} method. * * @return string identification of an inter-operability message * @see Message#valueOf(java.lang.String) */ String message(); }
