Annotation Type Suspend

@Target(value=METHOD)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface Suspend

Suspend the underlying response. Once suspended, a response might be allowed to consume Broadcast events, depending on the scope ([@link Suspend#SCOPE}). By default, a suspended response is suspended able to consume any broadcasted events executed inside the same application (SCOPE.APPLICATION). The period can also be per suspended response (SCOPE.REQUEST) or available to other application (SCOPE.VM).
