Annotation Type CanReleaseReferences

Deprecated.

The releasable references feature is deprecated and scheduled for removal in July 2018. If you use it or are planning to add usages, please comment on this bug.

@Beta
 @Documented
 @Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
 @Deprecated
public @interface CanReleaseReferences

Annotates scope annotations to indicate that references to objects stored within that scope can be released during the lifetime of the scope.

A scope can release references if it is annotated with CanReleaseReferences or if it is annotated with an annotation that itself is annotated with CanReleaseReferences.

For example:

    @Documented
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @CanReleaseReferences
    @Scope
   public  @interface MyScope {}

or:

    @CanReleaseReferences
   public  @interface SomeAnnotation {}

    @Documented
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @SomeAnnotation
    @Scope
   public  @interface MyScope {}

Note:Releasable references uses Java's WeakReference, and so is not compatible with GWT.

Since:

2.8
