Annotation Interface Named

@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({PARAMETER,METHOD,TYPE}) public @interface Named
Qualify a service with a name.

Sting actively processes this annotation on Injectable types, Injectable constructor parameters, Fragment provider methods, Fragment provider method parameters, and Injector output methods.

Sting also tolerates this annotation for framework integration on InjectorFragment methods, on constructor parameters whose enclosing type is annotated with an annotation meta-annotated by ActAsStingConsumer, and on types annotated with an annotation meta-annotated by ActAsStingProvider. Types annotated with annotations meta-annotated by ActAsStingComponent receive both validation allowances.
