@Retention(value=RUNTIME) public @interface Replace
Replace method is used to replace an object that
is about to be serialized to an XML document. This is used to so
that an object can provide a substitute to itself. Scenarios such
as serializing an object to an external file or location can be
accommodated using a write replacement method.
This is similar to the writeReplace method used within
Java Object Serialization in that it is used to plug a replacement
in to the resulting stream during the serialization process. Care
should be taken to provide a suitable type from the replacement so
that the object can be deserialized at a later time.
