      Description

      Please, enable inheritance of controller related annotations from implemented interfaces.

      I would like to share rest service interface between client and server. This way I could provide a really convenient mechanism - client-proxy, like the one RestEasy provides.

      Shared interface:

      @RequestMapping("/random")
public interface RandomDataController {

	@RequestMapping(value = "/{type}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	@ResponseBody
	RandomData getRandomData(
			@PathVariable(value = "type") RandomDataType type, @RequestParam(value = "size", required = false, defaultValue = "10") int size);
}

      Server implementation:

      @Controller
public class RandomDataImpl implements RandomDataController {

	@Autowired
	private RandomGenerator randomGenerator;

	@Override
	public RandomData getPathParamRandomData(RandomDataType type, int size) {
		return randomGenerator.generateRandomData(type, size);
	}
}

      Client code:

      // ...
RandomDataController randomDataController = SpringMvcProxyFactory.create(RandomDataController.class, "http://localhost:8080");
RandomData rd = randomDataController.getRandomData(RandomDataType.ALPHA, 100);
// ...

      At the moment I cannot write SpringMvcProxyFactory because parameter annotations from interface RandomDataController are not inherited by RandomDataControllerImpl.
