@Remote

<p>
	The {@link oaj.http.remote.Remote @Remote} annotation is used on your interface class
	to identify it as a REST proxy interface.
</p>
<ul class='javatree'>
	<li class='ja'>{@link oaj.http.remote.Remote}
	<ul>
		<li class='jf'>{@link oaj.http.remote.Remote#path path}
	</ul>
</ul>
<p>
	The <ja>@Remote</ja> annotation is optional, but often included for code readability.
</p>

<h5 class='topic'>@Remote(path)</h5>
<p>
	The {@link oaj.http.remote.Remote#path @Remote(path)} annotation is used to define the
	HTTP path of the REST service.
</p>
<p>
	The path can be an absolute path to your REST service.
</p>
<h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>	
	<ja>@Remote</ja>(path=<js>"http://localhost:10000/petstore"</js>)
	<jk>public interface</jk> PetStore {...}
</p>
<p class='bpcode w800'>	
	PetStore p = client.getRemote(PetStore.<jk>class</jk>);
</p>
<p>
	When a relative path is specified, it's relative to the root-url defined on the <c>RestClient</c> used to instantiate the interface.
</p>
<h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>	
	<ja>@Remote</ja>(path=<js>"/petstore"</js>)
	<jk>public interface</jk> PetStore {...}
</p>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	RestClient client = RestClient.<jsm>create</jsm>().json().rootUrl(<js>"http://localhost:10000"</js>).build();	
	PetStore p = client.getRemote(PetStore.<jk>class</jk>);
</p>
<p>
	When no path is specified, the root-url defined on the <c>RestClient</c> is used.
</p>
<h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>	
	<ja>@Remote</ja>
	<jk>public interface</jk> PetStore {...}
</p>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	RestClient client = RestClient.<jsm>create</jsm>().json().rootUrl(<js>"http://localhost:10000/petstore"</js>).build();	
	PetStore p = client.getRemote(PetStore.<jk>class</jk>);
