Each of the sets of annotations identifies variables in the declaration file to use with one of the service functions. The declaration file is processed to generate one of the service functions. The set of annotations in the declaration file for the service function to generate is determined. The determined set of annotations is processed to determine variables to include with the service function to generate. The determined variables from the declaration file are used to generate the service function.
