# Annotations Reference

This section provides reference information about WebLogic Integration-specific Workshop annotations, which are formatted like Javadoc tags.

WebLogic Workshop provides custom annotations based on Javadoc technology. Originally developed as a way to embed documentation into source code as comments, Javadoc is extended by WebLogic Workshop through custom annotations that help to define the functionality of a Web application component. For example, in WebLogic Integration, annotations can be used to define the purpose of an Integration control or a business process.

To learn about Workshop annotations not specific to WebLogic Integration (that is, Web service annotations, page flow annotations, and so on), see the WebLogic Workshop Reference.
