/**
* The <code>Transient</code> annotation is an optional annotation
* that can be used within an XML class schema to mark a method or
* field as being transient, which indicates that it does not take
* part in serialization or deserialization. This is particularly
* useful when the <code>Default</code> annotation is applied to
* a class, as it indicates no default serialization is to be used.
