Annotation Type Origin

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=PARAMETER)
public @interface Origin

The origin annotation provides some meta information about the source method that is bound to this method where the binding is dependant of the parameter's type:

1. If the annotated parameter is of type Method, the parameter is assigned a reference to the method it intercepts.
2. If the annotated parameter is of type Class, the parameter is assigned a reference of the type of the instrumented type.
3. If the annotated parameter is of type String, the parameter is assigned a string describing a unique method signature of the method it intercepts. This string is a concatenation of:
   • The method's name
   • The ( symbol
   • A list of the method's parameters' descriptors
   • The ) symbol
   • The descriptor of the method's return type
   This unique signature allows the unambiguous identification of a particular class's methods while avoid the rather expensive creation of a Method instance.

Any other parameter type will cause an IllegalStateException.
