/**
* Identifies the delegate injection point of a decorator.
* May be applied to a field, bean constructor parameter or
* initializer method parameter of a decorator bean class.
*
*
* @Decorator
* class TimestampLogger implements Logger {
* @Inject @Delegate @Any Logger logger;
* ...
* }
*
*
* @Decorator
* class TimestampLogger implements Logger {
* private Logger logger;
*
* @Inject
* public TimestampLogger(@Delegate @Debug Logger logger) {
* this.logger=logger;
* }
* ...
* }
*
*
* A decorator must have exactly one delegate injection point. The
* delegate injection point must be an injected field, initializer
* method parameter or bean constructor method parameter.
*
* The container injects a delegate object to the delegate injection
* point. The delegate object implements the delegate type and delegates
* method invocations along the decorator stack. When the container calls
* a decorator during business method interception, the decorator may
* invoke any method of the delegate object. If a decorator invokes the
* delegate object at any other time, the invoked method throws an
* {@link java.lang.IllegalStateException}.
*
*
* @Decorator
* class TimestampLogger implements Logger {
* @Inject @Delegate @Any Logger logger;
*
* void log(String message) {
* logger.log( timestamp() + ": " + message );
* }
* ...
* }
*
*
* @see javax.decorator.Decorator @Decorator specifies that a
* class is a decorator.
