[Refactor] Replace Proxy.reactTo() with method level @React

[Nils Brugger]

The way to specify custom methods to react to is a little cumbersome and error prone.

Before

ReactiveProxy<Person> person = ReactiveProxy.createProxy(Person.class);
person.setStrategy(REACT_ON_CUSTOM);
person.reactTo(
    "updateHealthStatus",
    "setAge"
);

After

@ReactTo(ANNOTATION);
public class Person {
    @Reactive
    public updateHealthStatus(ECard card){
          ....
    }
    @Reactive
    public setAge(int age){
        ...
    }
}

Alernative

public class Person {
    @Reactive
    public updateHealthStatus(ECard card){
          ....
    }
    @Reactive
    public setAge(int age){
        ...
    }
}

ReactiveProxy<Person> person = ReactiveProxy.createProxy(Person.class);
person.setStrategy(ANNOTATIONS);

Requirement

@ReactTo should take theese options

• NOTHING - while useless on first glance in complex structure it maybe makes sense
• ANNOTATED - just annotated methods
• SETTER - self explanatory
• ALL - self explanatory

Adaptation

Due to #39 #44 #38 and #45 the creation process of proxies changed and therefore a new approach is needed!

Design

We will go with the following approach

Owned classes

public class Person {
    @Reactive
    public updateHealthStatus(ECard card){
          ....
    }
    @Reactive
    public setAge(int age){
        ...
    }
}

ProxyCreator creator = ProxyCreator.besideOrigin();
creator.setStrategy(ANNOTATIONS);
ReactiveProxy<Person> person = creator.createProxy(new Person());

Or for 3rd party classes

ProxyCreator creator = ProxyCreator.custom(getClass());//custom is the best for 3rd party
creator.setStrategy(SETTERS);
//or
creator.setStrategy(byName("update","erase"));
ReactiveProxy<Matrix> person = creator.create(new Matrix());
