Annotation Type MetaAnnotation

@Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface MetaAnnotation

Marks an annotation as being a meta-annotation for entity classes and attributes.

Meta-annotations are automatically processed by metadata loader and are available via MetaClass.getAnnotations() or MetaProperty.getAnnotations(). They can be also added or overridden in metadata.xml.

If a meta-annotation is defined on a class, it's propagated down to subclasses until it has the propagateToSubclasses attribute set to false. See for example SystemLevel annotation.
