Annotation Interface ActiveObject

@Documented
@Retention(SOURCE)
@Target(TYPE)
public @interface ActiveObject

Marks a class as an active object whose ActiveMethod-annotated methods are automatically routed through an internal actor for thread-safe, serialised execution.

All @ActiveMethod calls on the same instance are processed one at a time — no locks needed.

 {@literal @}ActiveObject
 class Account {
     private double balance = 0

     {@literal @}ActiveMethod
     void deposit(double amount) { balance += amount }

     {@literal @}ActiveMethod(blocking = false)
     Awaitable<Double> getBalance() { balance }
 }
