@CacheKeyMethod ignored in superclass

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When A is a superclass of B, and A has an annotated method @CacheKeyMethod, 
then this method is ignored for B instance (and to toString() is used in place).

If I override the annotated method in B, and add the annotation, expected 
behavior is used.

It may be more appropriate that @CacheKeyMethod of superclasses is used when no 
@CacheKeyMethod is found in an object instance ? If not, @CacheKeyMethod 
javadoc may be modified to expose this behavior ?

It will be easier and faster to just change the javadocs but it'll be too 
verbose and error prone when each subclass need to override (copy) the method 
annotated with @CacheKeyMethod from superclass. 
I'll change it. If there's no @CacheKeyMethod in class also superclasses will 
be checked before using the default toString().

Code in trunk and artifact is available snapshot repository.
If you want to use it but don't want to relay on snapshot or compile SSM on 
your own, let me know and I'll describe how it's possible using version 3.0.2.
