Annotation Type Internal

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

Annotation to mark a bean property as "internal" to the object. An internal property is one that is part of the object's structure, or whose value is entirely represented by another property on the bean. Internal properties are ignored by frameworks like diffing, and marshalling. It is not expected that internal properties would need to be shown to the user in any UI.

This annotation only needs to be applied to the get method for a bean property. If the get method is overridden in a subclass, the annotation must be re-included on the overridden method to preserve the internal status.

Despite the name, there is no connection between this annotation and References.internal().
