/**
 * Marks a method or exception class with the status {@link #code} and
 * {@link #reason} that should be returned.
 *
 * <p>The status code is applied to the HTTP response when the handler
 * method is invoked and overrides status information set by other means,
 * like {@code ResponseEntity} or {@code "redirect:"}.
 *
 * <p><strong>Warning</strong>: when using this annotation on an exception
 * class, or when setting the {@code reason} attribute of this annotation,
 * the {@code HttpServletResponse.sendError} method will be used.
 *
 * <p>With {@code HttpServletResponse.sendError}, the response is considered
 * complete and should not be written to any further. Furthermore, the Servlet
 * container will typically write an HTML error page therefore making the
 * use of a {@code reason} unsuitable for REST APIs. For such cases it is
 * preferable to use a {@link org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity} as
 * a return type and avoid the use of {@code @ResponseStatus} altogether.
 *
 * <p>Note that a controller class may also be annotated with
 * {@code @ResponseStatus} and is then inherited by all {@code @RequestMapping}
 * methods.
