 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Qualifier
 @Deprecated
public @interface ForReleasableReferences

A Qualifier to inject a ReleasableReferenceManager or TypedReleasableReferenceManager object for a particular scope.

For example:

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

    @CanReleaseReferences
    public @interface MyMetadata {
     int value();
   }

    @Documented
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @MyMetadata(15)
    @Scope
    public @interface YourScope {}

   class MyClass {
      @Inject
     MyClass(
          @ForReleasableReferences(MyScope.class)
         ReleasableReferenceManager myScopeReferenceManager,
          @ForReleasableReferences(YourScope.class)
          TypedReleasableReferenceManager<MyMetadata> yourScopeReferenceManager) {
       // …
     }
   }
 

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