@Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE) @Documented public @interface Stereotype
Specifies that an annotation type is a stereotype.
In many systems, use of architectural patterns produces a set of recurring bean roles. A stereotype allows a framework developer to identify such a role and declare some common metadata for beans with that role in a central place.
A bean may declare zero, one or multiple stereotypes, by applying the stereotype annotation to the bean class or producer method or field.
A stereotype encapsulates any combination of:
The default scope of a stereotype is defined by annotating the stereotype with a scope type. A stereotype may declare at most one scope. If a bean explicitly declares a scope, any default scopes declared by its stereotypes are ignored.
 @RequestScoped
 @Stereotype 
 @Target(TYPE) 
 @Retention(RUNTIME) 
 public @interface Action {}
 
 
 The interceptor bindings of a stereotype are defined by annotating the stereotype with the interceptor binding types. A stereotype may declare zero, one or multiple interceptor bindings. An interceptor binding declared by a stereotype is inherited by any bean that declares that stereotype.
 @RequestScoped 
 @Secure 
 @Transactional 
 @Stereotype 
 @Target(TYPE) 
 @Retention(RUNTIME) 
 public @interface Action {}
 
 
 A stereotype may also specify that:
A stereotype may declare an empty 
 @Named annotation, which specifies 
 that every bean with the stereotype has a defaulted name when a 
 name is not explicitly specified by the bean.
 @RequestScoped 
 @Named 
 @Secure 
 @Transactional 
 @Stereotype 
 @Target(TYPE) 
 @Retention(RUNTIME) 
 public @interface Action {}
 
 
 A stereotype may declare an 
 @Alternative
 annotation, which specifies that every bean with the stereotype is 
 an alternative.
 @Alternative 
 @Stereotype 
 @Target(TYPE) 
 @Retention(RUNTIME) 
 public @interface Mock {}
 
 
 A stereotype may declare other stereotypes. Stereotype declarations are transitive. A stereotype declared by a second stereotype is inherited by all beans and other stereotypes that declare the second stereotype.
