Annotation Type ProcessStart

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface ProcessStart

Annotation ProcessStart identifies a class method as implementing a means to start (invoke or execute) a process.

This method should return immediately (asynchronously). The ProcessComplete method is the synchronous (blocking) version of this method.

The ProcessStart method is called after the ProcessPrepare method. It may be called by the ProcessComplete method (but will block till the process is finished).

This annotation is optional. Calling methods should test for its existence with the ProcessWrapper.hasStart() method and should call the corresponding ProcessComplete annotated method.
