@Target(METHOD) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Transient
Indicates that an attribute called "transient" should be declared with the givenvaluewhen theIntrospectorconstructs aPropertyDescriptororEventSetDescriptorclasses associated with the annotated code element. Atruevalue for the "transient" attribute indicates to encoders derived fromEncoderthat this feature should be ignored.The
Transientannotation may be used in any of the methods that are involved in aFeatureDescriptorsubclass to identify the transient feature in the annotated class and its subclasses. Normally, the method that starts with "get" is the best place to put the annotation and it is this declaration that takes precedence in the case of multiple annotations being defined for the same feature.To declare a feature non-transient in a class whose superclass declares it transient, use
@Transient(false). In all cases, theIntrospectordecides if a feature is transient by referring to the annotation on the most specific superclass. If noTransientannotation is present in any superclass the feature is not transient.- Since:
