@Retention(value=CLASS) @Documented @Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE,CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD,FIELD,PACKAGE}) public @interface Beta
This annotation signals that the annotated public Jersey API (package, class, method or field)
has not been fully stabilized yet. As such, the API is subject to backward-incompatible changes
(or even removal) in a future Jersey release. Jersey development team does not make any guarantees
to retain backward compatibility of a @Beta
-annotated Jersey API.
This annotation does not indicate inferior quality or performance of the API, just informs that the API may still evolve in the future in a backward-incompatible ways. Jersey users may use beta APIs in their applications keeping in mind potential cost of extra work associated with an upgrade to a newer Jersey version.
Once a @Beta
-annotated Jersey API reaches the desired maturity, the @Beta
annotation
will be removed from such API and the API will become part of a stable public Jersey API.
