Annotation Type ApiReference

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface ApiReference

Annotation to specify that the annotated class should use the same Api configuration information as the referenced class. This referenced configuration is used instead of any configuration inherited from Api annotations or other ApiReference annotations on super classes. If a single class is annotated with both Api and ApiReference annotations, configuration is first retrieved using the ApiReference annotation and is then overridden with configuration from the Api annotation.
