  /**
   * The <code>Complete</code> annotation is used to mark a method that
   * requires a callback from the persister once the serialization of
   * the object has completed. The complete method is typically used
   * in combination with the persist method, which is the method that
   * is annotated with the <code>Persist</code> annotation.
   * <p>
   * Typically the complete method will revert any changes made when 
   * the persist method was invoked. For example, should the persist
   * method acquire a lock to ensure the object is serialized in a
   * safe state then the commit method can be used to release the lock.
   * The complete method must be a no argument public method or a
   * method that takes a single <code>Map</code> object argument. The
   * complete method is invoked even if deserialization terminates.
