Annotation Type Autocompleted

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@Documented
public @interface Autocompleted

Retrieve the annotated object from the database, according to an autocompleted property (usually, its name). For example, if you prepare an autocompleter like this:

 
 
 \@Autocompleted(query="select Customer from Customer c where c.name=?", property="name")
 private Customer customer;
 

The customer.name request parameter will be intercepted and used to populate the customer property. If no customer.name request param is found, the interceptor will do nothing.
