Stop Classes

Whereas interface filters limit properties defined on child classes, stop filters do the opposite and limit properties defined on parent classes.

Stop classes are defined through the following:

- {@link oaj.annotation.Bean#stopClass() @Bean(stopClass)}
- {@link oaj.transform.BeanFilterBuilder#stopClass(Class)}

Stop classes are identical in purpose to the stop class specified by {@link java.beans.Introspector#getBeanInfo(Class, Class)}.
Any properties in the stop class or in its base classes will be ignored during serialization.

For example, in the following class hierarchy, instances of `C3` will include property `p3`, but not `p1` or `p2`.

public class C1 { public int getP1(); } public class C2 extends C1 { public int getP2(); } @Bean(stopClass=C2. class) public class C3 extends C2 { public int getP3(); } // Serializes property 'p3', but NOT 'p1' or 'p2'. String json = JsonSerializer. DEFAULT.serialize(new C3());
