Annotation Interface DoNotStore
In particular, you should not:
- Store annotated objects on a field
- Cache annotated objects in any collection
Doing so may result in memory leaks and/or result in you operating on a stale object, meaning your operations will fail, often silently.
Where objects have identifiers (usually a UUID
or name),
you should store the identifiers instead, and use these to get the required object
from the API when needed.
