public @interface ThingworxServiceMapping
    An annotation mapping various services to a characteristic. These services are then invoked via the REST API against a thing entity; which service is invoked depends on the HTTP method used. GET requests that do not specify a characteristic ID default to the list service. DELETE requests are routed to the delete service. The query service is invoked when an ID is provided in the query string.
