Annotation Interface Metered

@Inherited @Documented @InterceptorBinding @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({TYPE,CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD,ANNOTATION_TYPE}) public @interface Metered
An annotation for marking a method, constructor, or class as metered. The metric will be registered in the application MetricRegistry.

Given a method annotated with @Metered like this: 

 
     @Metered(name = "fancyName")
     public String fancyName(String name) {
         return "Sir Captain " + name;
     }
A meter with the fully qualified class name + fancyName will be created and each time the #fancyName(String) method is invoked, the meter will be marked. Similarly, the same applies for a constructor annotated with metered.

Given a class annotated with @Metered like this: 

 
     @Metered
     public class MeteredBean {
         public void meteredMethod1() {}
         public void meteredMethod2() {}
     }
A meter for the defining class will be created for each of the constructors/methods. Each time a constructor/method is invoked, the respective meter will be marked. This annotation will throw an IllegalStateException if the constructor/method is invoked, but the metric no longer exists in the MetricRegistry.
