Method Detail

getAnnotationMetadata

@NonNull
default AnnotationMetadata getAnnotationMetadata()

Supplies the metadata. Defaults to AnnotationMetadata.EMPTY_METADATA.

Returns:

The AnnotationMetadata

synthesize

default <T extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> T synthesize(java.lang.Class<T> annotationClass)

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Synthesizes a new annotation from the metadata for the given annotation type. This method works by creating a runtime proxy of the annotation interface and should be avoided in favour of direct use of the annotation metadata and only used for unique cases that require integrating third party libraries.

Specified by:

synthesize in interface AnnotationSource

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationClass - The annotation class

Returns:

The annotation or null if it doesn't exist

synthesizeAll

default java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] synthesizeAll()

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Synthesizes a new annotations from the metadata. This method works by creating a runtime proxy of the annotation interface and should be avoided in favour of direct use of the annotation metadata and only used for unique cases that require integrating third party libraries.

Specified by:

synthesizeAll in interface AnnotationSource

Returns:

All the annotations

synthesizeDeclared

default java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] synthesizeDeclared()

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Synthesizes a new annotations from the metadata. This method works by creating a runtime proxy of the annotation interface and should be avoided in favour of direct use of the annotation metadata and only used for unique cases that require integrating third party libraries.

Specified by:

synthesizeDeclared in interface AnnotationSource

Returns:

All declared annotations

isAnnotationPresent

default boolean isAnnotationPresent(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotationClass)

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Return whether an annotation is present.

Specified by:

isAnnotationPresent in interface AnnotationSource

Parameters:

annotationClass - The annotation class

Returns:

True if it is

isDeclaredAnnotationPresent

default boolean isDeclaredAnnotationPresent(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotationClass)

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Variation of AnnotationSource.isAnnotationPresent(Class) for declared annotations.

Specified by:

isDeclaredAnnotationPresent in interface AnnotationSource

Parameters:

annotationClass - The annotation class

Returns:

True if it is

synthesizeDeclared

default <T extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> T synthesizeDeclared(java.lang.Class<T> annotationClass)

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Synthesizes a new annotation from the metadata for the given annotation type. This method works by creating a runtime proxy of the annotation interface and should be avoided in favour of direct use of the annotation metadata and only used for unique cases that require integrating third party libraries.

This method ignores inherited annotations. (Returns null if no annotations are directly present on this element.)

Specified by:

synthesizeDeclared in interface AnnotationSource

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationClass - The annotation class

Returns:

The annotation or null if it doesn't exist

synthesizeAnnotationsByType

default <T extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> T[] synthesizeAnnotationsByType(java.lang.Class<T> annotationClass)

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Synthesizes a new annotations from the metadata for the given type. This method works by creating a runtime proxy of the annotation interface and should be avoided in favour of direct use of the annotation metadata and only used for unique cases that require integrating third party libraries.

Specified by:

synthesizeAnnotationsByType in interface AnnotationSource

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationClass - The annotation type

Returns:

All annotations by the given type

synthesizeDeclaredAnnotationsByType

default <T extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> T[] synthesizeDeclaredAnnotationsByType(java.lang.Class<T> annotationClass)

Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource

Synthesizes a new annotations from the metadata for the given type. This method works by creating a runtime proxy of the annotation interface and should be avoided in favour of direct use of the annotation metadata and only used for unique cases that require integrating third party libraries.

Specified by:

synthesizeDeclaredAnnotationsByType in interface AnnotationSource

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationClass - The annotation type

Returns:

Declared annotations by the given type
