[NEW ISSUE] @Remotable can only apply to a Class/Interface but statementsin section 8 of Java POJO spec contradict this

Target:  sca-javaci-1.1-spec-cd02-rev1.doc

Description:

@Remotable annotation is declared to
be valid on a Class/Interface only:

@Target(TYPE)

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface Remotable {

However, wording in Section 8 of the
CD02 Rev1 of the Java POJO specification states:

    remotable attribute of
<interface.java> child element is omitted unless the interface class
has no 

    @Remotable annotation
and there is a @Remotable annotation on the field, setter method or 

    constructor parameter,
in which case the <interface.java> element has remotable="true".

This is a contradiction, since the text
implies that @Remotable annotation can apply to:

- a Field

- a parameter of a setter method or
constructor

Proposal:

Change the definition of the @Remotable
annotation to permit it to apply to Fields and to method

parameters:

@Target(TYPE, FIELD, PARAMETER)

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface Remotable {
