/**
* Annotation applied to Java method arguments of interface proxies to denote that they are path variables on the request.
*
* Example:
*
* @Remoteable (path="/myproxy" )
* public interface MyProxy {
*
* // Explicit names specified for path parameters.
* // pojo will be converted to UON notation (unless plain-text parts enabled).
* @RemoteMethod (path="/mymethod1/{foo}/{bar}" )
* String myProxyMethod1(@Path ("foo" ) String foo, @Path ("bar" ) MyPojo pojo);
*
* // Multiple values pulled from a NameValuePairs object.
* // Same as @Path("*").
* @RemoteMethod (path="/mymethod2/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}" )
* String myProxyMethod2(@Path NameValuePairs nameValuePairs);
*
* // Multiple values pulled from a Map.
* // Same as @Path("*").
* @RemoteMethod (path="/mymethod3/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}" )
* String myProxyMethod3(@Path Map<String,Object> map);
*
* // Multiple values pulled from a bean.
* // Same as @Path("*").
* @RemoteMethod (path="/mymethod4/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}" )
* String myProxyMethod4(@Path MyBean myBean);
* }
*
*
*
* The annotation can also be applied to a bean property field or getter when the argument is annotated with
* {@link RequestBean @RequestBean}:
*
*
Example:
*
* @Remoteable (path="/myproxy" )
* public interface MyProxy {
*
* @RemoteMethod (path="/mymethod/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}" )
* String myProxyMethod(@RequestBean MyRequestBean bean);
* }
*
* public interface MyRequestBean {
*
* // Name explicitly specified.
* @Path ("foo" )
* String getX();
*
* // Name inherited from bean property.
* // Same as @Path("bar")
* @Path
* String getBar();
*
* // Name inherited from bean property.
* // Same as @Path("baz")
* @Path
* @BeanProperty ("baz" )
* String getY();
*
* // Multiple values pulled from NameValuePairs object.
* // Same as @Path("*")
* @Path
* NameValuePairs getNameValuePairs();
*
* // Multiple values pulled from Map.
* // Same as @Path("*")
* @Path
* Map<String,Object> getMap();
*
* // Multiple values pulled from bean.
* // Same as @Path("*")
* @Path
* MyBean getMyBean();
* }
*
*
*
* The {@link #name()} and {@link #value()} elements are synonyms for specifying the path variable name.
* Only one should be used.
*
The following annotations are fully equivalent:
*
* @Path (name="foo" )
*
* @Path ("foo" )
*
*
* Additional Information

/**
* The path parameter name.
*
*
* Note that {@link #name()} and {@link #value()} are synonyms.
*
*
* The value should be either "*" to represent multiple name/value pairs, or a label that defines the
* path variable name.
*
*
* A blank value (the default) has the following behavior:
*
* -
* If the data type is
NameValuePairs, Map, or a bean,
* then it's the equivalent to "*" which will cause the value to be treated as name/value pairs.
*
* Example:
*
* // When used on a remote method parameter
* @Remoteable (path="/myproxy" )
* public interface MyProxy {
*
* // Equivalent to @Path("*")
* @RemoteMethod (path="/mymethod/{foo}/{bar}" )
* String myProxyMethod1(@FormData Map<String,Object> pathVars);
* }
*
* // When used on a request bean method
* public interface MyRequestBean {
*
* // Equivalent to @Path("*")
* @Path
* Map<String,Object> getPathVars();
* }
*
*
* -
* If used on a request bean method, uses the bean property name.
*
*
Example:
*
* public interface MyRequestBean {
*
* // Equivalent to @Path("foo")
* @Path
* String getFoo();
* }
