Annotation Type Async

public @interface Async

Marker interface used for annotating methods that operate asynchronously.

Async operations are operations that DO NOT have a result realized after the completion of the execution of the annotated method. The result will be realized at a later point in time, likely by another thread.

This means that the program will:

• Get to the code annotated with the Async interface.
• Continue executing as intended.
• Without stopping, run the code contained in the method's body.
• Continue executing as intended.

Marker interfaces have no purpose other than to indicate to anyone who sees the annotation that the annotated field or class or method has a certain property.
