Annotations used to deploy beans. An example of a bean created using annotations is created here. 
@Bean(name="SomeBean")
@Aliases(name="ABean")
public class MyBean
{
   long age;
   String property;
   
   @Constructor
   public MyBean(@StringValue(value="25", type="long") long age)
   {
      ...
   }
   
   @StringValue(value="Hello", type="java.lang.String")
   public void setProperty(String property)
   {
      this.property = property;
   }
}
If this class is compiled, we can use AnnotationToBeanMetaDataFactory.createBeanMetaData(Class) to obtain the BeanMetaData, which can then be deployed into the controller using the KernelController.install(BeanMetaData) method.

Once deployed, we will have a bean called MyBean, with an alias ABean. The bean will be constructed using the non-default constructor passing in 25 for the parameter. Next it will be configured with a call to setProperty() passing in Hello as the parameter. The individual annotations have more examples.
