/**
 * This is an annotation that you can add to a RESTEasy client interface that
 * has a return type of Response.
 * <p/>
 * <p/>
 * You have two options:
 * <ol>
 * <li>use the entityType property to set a Class that will always be returned
 * <li>use the entityTypeFactory to determine which Class to use based on a
 * factory that determines which class to use based on logic that uses the
 * headers and status of the result.
 * </ol>
 * <p/>
 * Note: if you want to use generic types, you can't use this annotation. You'll
 * have to either use ClientResponse as part of your interface, or cast the
 * resulting Response object as a ClientResponse.
