Annotation Interface Action

@Repeatable(Actions.class) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({FIELD,METHOD}) public @interface Action
Associates an action to a property or reference in the view.

Applies to properties and references.

Example: 

  @Action("Deliveries.generateNumber")
  private int number;
The actions are displayed as a link or an image beside the property.
By default the action link is present only when the property is editable, but if the property is read only or calculated then it is always present.
If the action implements IPropertyAction the name of the property and the container view are injected in the action before executing it.
