Annotation Type FieldAnnotation

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface FieldAnnotation

This Annotation can be used to describe the properties of the JavaObjects that you would use for JSON binding. FieldAnnotation is a Method annotation and can be use only for Method. If you don't use the EntityAnnotation for the "container" Bean, all of used FieldAnnotation will be ignored and there will be a mirror binding between json and bean.
