/**
 * Drop this annotation, along with @MonitorPerformance, on a class that serves as a web service endpoint (typically a contrller).  This will cause the 
 * bean to be registered in a JMX domain that includes "webservice.endpoint", and for any data sent to Graphite (if it's configured)
 * to also be under a similar namespace.  In this way, you have an easy way to keep track of all your webservices that you've implemented
 * automatically - they won't be "forgotten".
