Annotation Type Param


@Target(PARAMETER) @Retention(CLASS) @Documented public @interface Param
Identifies a parameter is to be used for constructing an exception and excluded from the formatting of the message.

Parameters will be order-matched first, then type-matched to resolve ambiguity. If a match fails an error should occur.

The value() option will allow an optional class to be specified which will have to match the exact type of the parameter in question, to enable unambiguous resolution. The value must be the fully qualified class name.
