Annotation Type Delegated

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

Indicates that the bound type is a delegate and it must be wrapped. For example:

   public interface MyHandler {
     // handle things...
   }
   public class MyDefaultHandler implements MyHandler {
     // implementations...
   }
   public class MyHandlerDecorator implements MyHandler {
     @Inject @Delegated private MyHandler delegate;
   }
 

Configured as

   // this is the delegated handler
   bind(MyHandler.class).markedWith(Delegated.class).to(MyDefaultHandler.class);
   // this is the decorator
   bind(MyHandler.class).to(MyHandlerDecorator.class);
 

The annotation isn't used in the library, but it's added here because many users of syringe (old trew) added this annotation to its projects and used it as specified.
