@Documented @Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value={METHOD,TYPE}) @Inherited public @interface Produces
An annotation to indicate the MediaType
s produced by a particular component.
Generally with controllers one can use the produces
attribute of the Controller
annotation,
however this annotation is more generic and applies to any component
@AliasFor(annotation=SingleResult.class, member="value") public abstract boolean single
In the case of reactive types this member indicates whether only a single result is returned. Normally this annotation is unnecessary unless the declared type doesn't indicate how many items are emitted.
For JSON with single=false if an Reactive streams Publisher type is returned these will be automatically wrapped in an Array type to ensure valid JSON is returned.
If single=true it is expected that only a single result will be emitted and the result will not be wrapped in a JSON array.
