Annotation Type DontLogMe

@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=PARAMETER)
public @interface DontLogMe

E.g. the ProfileAspect together with the AbstractProfileAspect logs also the arguments for long running methods. But sometimes you don't want to see the value of an argument, e.g.

• if the argument is a password (you should never log passwords!)
• if the argument contains personal infos which should not appear in the log (like the age of a woman;-)
• if the value of the argument would be too long and would make the output unreadable
• or other reasons.

Now you can prefix these arguments with this annotation.
