public @interface Uri {

    /**
     * Specifies the URI of the injected {@link javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget
     * resource target}.
     *
     * The value must be in the form of absolute URI if not used from inside of
     * a JAX-RS component class. For example:
     * 
     * public class AuditingFilter implements RequestFilter {
     *    @Uri("users/{name}/orders")
     *    WebTarget userOrders;
     *
     *    // An external resource target
     *    @Uri("http://mail.acme.com/accounts/{name}")
     *    WebTarget userEmailAccount;
     *
     *    // An external, template-based resource target
     *    @Uri("http://{audit-host}:{audit-port}/auditlogs/")
     *    WebTarget auditLogs;
     *    ...
     * }
     * 
     *
     * If used from within a JAX-RS component class (e.g. resource, filter, provider … ),
     * the value can take a form of absolute or relative URI.
     * A relative URI is resolved using the context path of the application as the base URI.
     * For example:
     *      * public class AuditingFilter implements RequestFilter {
     *    @Uri("audit/logs")
     *    WebTarget applicationLogs;
     *
     *    @Uri("http://sales.acme.com/audit/logs")
     *    WebTarget domainLogs;
     *
     *    ...
     * }
     * 
     *
     * In case the annotation is used from a JAX-RS resource class, an absolute
     * or relative URI template value may be provided. The template parameter (e.g. {@code {id}})
     * values are automatically resolved in the context of the enclosing resource class
     * {@link javax.ws.rs.Path path template} as well as the context of the processed request.
     * Other defined template parameters have to be resolved before invocation of managed web target.
     * For example:
     *      * @Path("users/{name}")
     * public class MyResource {
     *    @Uri("users/{name}/orders")
     *    WebTarget userOrders;
     *
     *    @Uri("http://mail.acme.com/accounts/{name}")
     *    WebTarget userEmailAccount;
     *
     *    ...
     * }
     * 
     *
     * @see javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget
