Annotation Type Projection

@Restriction
@Documented
@Target(value=METHOD)
@Retention(value=SOURCE)
public @interface Projection

Projection restriction signals that the annotated method will not impact the operation on the receptor object, but instead return a new object that represents the result of just operation. Projection methods should return objects that share the same interface of the receptor objection. Projections may be lazy or eager- that is, perform the actual operation on demand or not. Projection methods must be non null, so there is no need to annotate them as NonNull, as it is implied.
