/**

 * <p/>
 * A method is monitored when it is annotated, or when it is in a class that is annotated.
 * <p/>
 * The monitor name consists of 2 parts, concatenated with a dot ".":
 * -1- the class name
 * -2- the method name
 * <p/>
 * If the name attribute is specified on a class it will override the class name part.
 * Default: the simple class name.
 * <p/>
 * If the name attribute is specified on a method it will override the method name part.
 * Default: the name of the method.
