 7 * Used in the IFacebookRestClient interface to tie together the method call (e.g. friends_get) and its return type.
 8 * 
 9 * Facebook provides a human readable description of the API and an XSD schema of the response formats. Without a WADL descriptor for the service, these two concepts
10 * aren't tied together. So, the Java API needs to tie the requests and expected response types together using this annotation.
11 * 
12 * The information specified helps to produce annotation-generated files FacebookXXXRestClient.java for Xml, Json and Jaxb. This annotation allows all the return types to
13 * be specified in IFacebookRestClient rather than scattered across the concrete adapter .java files.
