Annotation Type WeakDomainDependency

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

Annotates getter methods in order to declare where dependency loop are recommended to be broken. For example, consider the following dependencies ("->" means "depends on"): User -> Attachment Attachment -> Project Project -> User If we were to follow this dependency graph, we would end up in a loop. By annotating one of the getters for these dependencies, we inform other code that this loop exists, and that the annotated getter is where the dependency loop is recommended to be broken.
