Annotation Type DependencyIncoming

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface DependencyIncoming

Annotation DependencyIncoming identifies a class method as implementing a 'getter' that returns an {link Object} or Collection<Object> that represents the dependencies that must be satisfied by upstream processes before the current process can be executed.

If no other process under consideration for the workflow declares it satisfies the dependency, it will be assumed the dependency has been satisfied externally (the file already exists in the system, etc).

This annotation is not optional.
