  /**
   * <p>
   * Use on methods in {@link Rest} annotated class to add a new rest service of
   * type GET.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * The annotation {@link #value()} is mandatory and define the URI or the full
   * URL of the web service. It MAY contain placeholders defined as follow :
   * <code>{name}</code>
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * The annotated method MAY have parameters as soon as each parameter names are
   * present as placeholders in the URI.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * The annotated method CAN return <code>void</code>,
   * {@link org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity} or any concrete java classes.
   * Interfaces CAN'T be used as return type because converters have to know which
   * object to instantiate while returning result.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * <b>Note:</b> Generics classes are also supported both for return type and
   * parameters.
   * </p>

   * 
   * <pre>
   * &#064;Rest(rootUrl = &quot;http://myserver&quot;, converters = MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter.class)
