 /**
  * A {@code ResponseBodyAdvice} implementation that adds support for
  * Jackson's {@code @JsonView} annotation declared on a Spring MVC
- * {@code @RequestMapping} or {@code @ExceptionHandler} method. The serialization
- * view specified in the annotation will be passed in to the
- * {@code MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter} which will then use it to
+ * {@code @RequestMapping} or {@code @ExceptionHandler} method.

+ * <p>The serialization view specified in the annotation will be passed in to
+ * the {@code MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter} which will then use it to
  * serialize the response body with.
  *
+ * <p>Note that despite {@code @JsonView} allowing for more than one class to
+ * be specified, the use for a response body advice is only supported with
+ * exactly one class argument. Consider the use of a composite interface.
