Annotation Interface MemberSetter


@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(METHOD) public @interface MemberSetter
An annotation indicating that a method should behave like a member setter. However, a pair of methods with the same name, where the return value type of the one short by a parameter equals the type of the extra parameter of the other, whose return value type is void or of the enclosing class, are recognized as a member getter/setter pair even without annotation. This behavior can be changed by annotating the methods with the Function annotation.

A member setter must return no value, or an object of its own Class, while its number of parameters must be greater than 0. The assigned value is assumed to be a member variable, but anything that follows the same syntax as the assignment of a member variable could potentially work with this annotation. All but the last argument are considered as indices to access a member array.
