value
when the Introspector
constructs
a PropertyDescriptor
or EventSetDescriptor
classes associated with the annotated code element.
A true
value for the "transient" attribute
indicates to encoders derived from Encoder
that this feature should be ignored.
The Transient
annotation may be used
in any of the methods that are involved
in a FeatureDescriptor
subclass
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, the Introspector
decides
if a feature is transient by referring to the annotation
on the most specific superclass.
If no Transient
annotation is present
in any superclass the feature is not transient.
