/**
 * 
 * Use on {@link Get}, {@link Post}, … annotated methods to negotiate the
 * response format expected, and so the converter to use.
 * 
 * 
 * The annotation {@link #value()} is mandatory and define the media type to
 * accept. We provide a {@link org.androidannotations.rest.spring.api.MediaType
 * MediaType} class to help you.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Example :
 * 
 *  * @Rest(rootUrl = "http://myserver", converters = { MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter.class, SimpleXmlHttpMessageConverter.class })
 * public interface MyRestClient {
 * 
 * 	@Get("/events/{id}")
 * 	@Accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
 * 	Event getEvent(long id);
 * 
 * 	@Post("/entity")
 * 	@Accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
 * 	Event addEvent(@Body Event event);
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * @see Rest
 * @see Get
 * @see Post
 * @see Put
 * @see Delete
 * @see Head
