@Activation

[Michael Prescott]

Hey, it would be really nice if I could skip all the writing of onActivate()
and onPassivate() methods, just using an annotation like this:

@Persist("activationContext")
public String someUsefulIdentifier;

Or, perhaps (and more useful for my case, when I want a domain entity
handy):

@ActivationContext(0)
public String getIdOfDomainEntityIAmEditing() {
  return this.domainEntity.getId();
}

public void setIdOfDomainEntityIAmEditing( String id ) {
  this.domainEntity = myInjectedDao.load(id);
}

@ActivationContext(1)
private boolean editMode;

The integer parameter is there to make the serialization order unambiguous,
so that you can compose URLs to the page.

I'm just making this stuff up.

Whaddya think?
