| /** |
| * Marks a field of a page (not a component) as persistent within the URL, as with a page activation context. The field |
| * is mapped |
| * to a query parameter. When component event or page render links are generated for the page, |
| * additional values will be added to the {@link Link} (via the {@link EventConstants#DECORATE_COMPONENT_EVENT_LINK} or |
| * {@link EventConstants#DECORATE_PAGE_RENDER_LINK} events). |
| * <p> |
| * The field may be of any type; a {@link ValueEncoder} (from the {@link ValueEncoderSource}) will be used to convert |
| * between client-side and server-side representations. Null values are not added as query parameters (just non-null). |
| * <p> |
| * When a page is activated, the mapped fields will receive their values before an {@linkplain EventConstants#ACTIVATE |
| * activate} event handler method is invoked. |
| * <p> |
| * This annotation is an alternative to {@link Persist}. |
| * <p> |
| * Fields annotated with ActivationRequestParameter are <em>not</em> considered persistent (its a process parallel to the one |
| * related to the {@link Persist} annotation). Invoking {@link ComponentResources#discardPersistentFieldChanges()} will |
| * <em>not</em> affect annotated fields, only assigning them back to null will. |
