# Annotation Interface BooleanFlag

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({FIELD,TYPE,METHOD}) public @interface BooleanFlag
Event field annotation, specifies that the value is a boolean flag, a `true` or `false` value.

The following example shows how the `BooleanFlag` annotation can be used to describe that a setting is a boolean value. This information can be used by a graphical user interface to display the setting as a checkbox.

    @BooleanFlag
    @Name("example.Rollback")
    @Label("Rollback")
    @Description("Include transactions that are rollbacked")
    public static class RollbackSetting extends SettingControl {
        private boolean value = true;

        @Override
        public String combine(Set<String> values) {
            return values.contains("true") ? "true" : "false";
        }

        @Override
        public void setValue(String settingValue) {
            value = "true".equals(settingValue);
        }

        @Override
        public String getValue() {
            return Boolean.toString(value);
        }

        public boolean shouldEmit() {
            return value;
        }
    }

    @Name("example.Transaction")
    public static class TransactionEvent extends Event {
        @Label("Context")
        String context;

        @Label("Rollback")
        boolean rollback;

        @SettingDefinition
        @Name("rollback")
        public boolean rollback(RollbackSetting rollbackSetting) {
            return rollback && rollbackSetting.shouldEmit();
        }
    }
