Latest improvements in action
Affected by maintenance release, the common annotation specification has not
greatly changed. We have in all, the addition of a new annotation and update of
some sections of the specification document.
The new annotation
The new annotation that was added to the specification concerns the management
of priorities when using a series of classes in a given order. This is the
javax.annotation.priority
annotation.
The exact role and the ranges of acceptable values for this annotation are defined
by each specification that uses it.
For example, this annotation could be used to manage the execution order of inter-
ceptors.
