Annotation Usage
ClientResponseType This is an annotation that you can add to a RESTEasy client interface that has a return type of Response.
ContentEncoding Meta annotation that specifies a Content-Encoding to be applied via the annotated annotation.
DecorateTypes Must be placed on a DecoratorProcessor class to specify the supported types.
Decorator Meta-annotation to be placed on another annotation that triggers decoration.
Form This can be used as a value object for incoming/outgoing request/responses.

Cache Set response Cache-Control header automatically.
NoCache Set Cache-Control response header of "nocache".
ServerCached Specifies that the response to this jax-rs method should be cached on the server.
ClientInterceptor Identifies an interceptor as a client-side interceptor.
DecoderPrecedence This interceptor is an Content-Encoding decoder.
EncoderPrecedence This interceptor is an Content-Encoding encoder.
HeaderDecoratorPrecedence HeaderDecoratorPrecedence interceptors should always come first as they decorate a response (on the server), or an outgoing request (on the client) with special, user-defined, headers.
RedirectPrecedence Should be placed on a PreProcessInterceptor.
SecurityPrecedence Should be placed on a PreProcessInterceptor.
ServerInterceptor Identifies an interceptor as a server-side interceptor.
NoJackson Placed on class, parameter, field or method when you don't want the Jackson provider to be triggered.
ImageWriterParams An annotation that a resource class can use to pass parameters to the IIOImageProvider.
