@BeanIgnore Annotation

<p>
	The {@link oaj.annotation.BeanIgnore @BeanIgnore} annotation is used to
	ignore classes, fields, and methods from being interpreted as beans or bean components.
</p> 
<p>
	When applied to classes, objects will be converted to strings even though they look like beans.
</p>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<jc>// Not really a bean!  Use toString() instead!</jc>
	<ja>@BeanIgnore</ja>
	<jk>public class</jk> MyBean {...}
</p>
<p>
	When applied to fields and getters/setters, they will be ignored as bean properties.
</p>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<jk>public class</jk> MyBean {
		
		<jc>// Not a bean property!</jc>
		<ja>@BeanIgnore</ja>
		<jk>public</jk> String <jf>foo</jf>;
		
		<jc>// Not a bean property!</jc>
		<ja>@BeanIgnore</ja>
		<jk>public</jk> String getBar() {...}
	}
</p>
