/**
* Meta-annotation that provides a facility for creating bindings between an {@link Uri @Uri}-injectable
* {@link javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget WebTarget} instances and clients (and their configurations) that are used to create
* the injected web target instances.
*
* Jersey refers to client instance configured using custom bound configurations as managed clients. As a first step,
* when using a managed client in a server-side JAX-RS/Jersey application, a custom client binding annotation has to be
* defined:
*
* @ClientBinding
* public @interface MyClient { }
*
* This defines new {@code @MyClient} binding annotation which will be configured using a default {@link #configClass()
* configuration class}, will {@link #inheritServerProviders() inherit all server-side providers} as well as will use a
* default {@link #baseUri() base URI} to resolve relative {@link Uri @Uri} web target URI values.
*
*
* Once a custom client binding annotation is defined, it can be used when {@link Uri injecting} new
* {@code WebTarget} instances created by a managed client. To complete a binding between a manged client and an injected
* web target instance, put the custom client binding annotation into the definition of an injected web target field or
* parameter. For example:
*
* @Path("foo")
* public class ManagedClientResource {
* @Uri("bar") @MyClient
* private WebTarget targetBar;
*
* @GET
* @Path("bar")
* public String getBar() {
* return targetBar.request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get(String.class);
* }
*
* @GET
* @Path("baz")
* public Response getBaz(@Uri("baz") @MyClient WebTarget targetBaz) {
* return targetB.request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get();
* }
* }
*
*
*
* Often managed clients may require a more complex configuration, including specifying custom provider classes and instances
* and setting custom properties. In such case it may be more convenient to provide a custom {@link Configuration}
* implementation class and link it with the binding annotation:
*
* public class MyClientConfig implements Configuration {
* ... // configure provide
* }
*
* @ClientBinding(configClass = MyClientConfig.class)
* public @interface MyClient { }
*
* Note that the easiest way how to provide a custom client-side {@code Configuration} implementation in Jersey is to extend
* the {@link org.glassfish.jersey.client.ClientConfig} class that provides reusable implementation of JAX-RS
* {@link Configuration} as well as {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Configurable Configurable} APIs.
*
*
* In case a managed client needs special properties, these properties can also be provided via custom {@code Configuration}
* implementation class. Another way how to pass custom properties to a managed client configuration is to define the managed
* client properties in the server configuration using a special
* <client.binding.annotation.FQN>.property. prefix. This can be either done programmatically,
* for example:
*
* MyResourceConfig.property(
* "my.package.MyClient.property.custom-client-property", "custom-value");
*
*
*
* Or declaratively via {@code web.xml}:
*
* <init-param>
* <param-name>my.package.MyClient.property.custom-client-property</param-name>
* <param-value>custom-value</param-value>
* </init-param>
*
* Properties defined this way can be accessed from the proper managed client instances using the custom property names:
*
* Object value = customTarget.getConfiguration().getProperty("custom-client-property");
*
* Note that the technique of defining managed client properties via server-side configuration described above can be also used
* to override the default property values defined programmatically in a custom configuration implementation class.
