This annotation can be added to any object to perform a Resource/method based
lookup to create a URI template. From there, perform Java beans-based
transformation between URI template and bean properties. For example, take
the following bean:

 MappedBy(Resource=FooResource.class, method="getFoo") public class Foo { private int id; // getters and setters } @Path("/foo")public class FooResource { @GET @Path("{id}") @Produces(...) public Foo getFoo(@PathParam("id") Integer id){ ... } } 

for a Foo f with id = 123, ObjectToURI.getInstance(f) = "/foo/123"
