/**
 * Subscribes a method on a component to receive events of a certain type. The method should have 2
 * parameters: the first must be {@link AjaxRequestTarget}, the second defines the type of events to
 * receive. This method will receive any event posted to the {@link EventBus} if it matches the type
 * of the second parameter and the filter accepts it. Any context a Wicket component expects to be
 * available, such as the {@link RequestCycle} and {@link Session}, is accessible on invocation of
 * the method.
 * 
 * 
 * Annotated methods will automatically be detected by {@link AtmosphereEventSubscriptionCollector}.
 * The page on which the component is placed will get a {@link AtmosphereBehavior}, which sets up a
 * persistent connection (for example websocket or streaming http).
