getAnnotation back to summary

getAnnotation	back to summary
public <T extends Annotation> T getAnnotation(Class<T> annotationType) Get program element annotation of a certain annotation type. The behavior of this method is intended to be the same behavior as `AnnotatedElement#getAnnotation(Class)`, where repeatable annotations are not supported. Parameters <T> the type of the annotation annotationType:Class<T> the class of the annotation type Returns:T the first program element annotation of the given annotation type, or a null value

public <T extends Annotation> T getAnnotation(Class<T> annotationType)

Get program element annotation of a certain annotation type. The behavior of this method is intended to be the same behavior as AnnotatedElement#getAnnotation(Class), where repeatable annotations are not supported.

Parameters

<T>: the type of the annotation
annotationType:Class<T>: the class of the annotation type

Returns:T

the first program element annotation of the given annotation type, or a null value

getAnnotations back to summary

getAnnotations	back to summary
public <T extends Annotation> Set<T> getAnnotations(Class<T> annotationType) Get program element annotations of a certain annotation type. This method returns back all annotations, including repeatable annotations of this type. The behavior of this method is intended to be the same behavior as `AnnotatedElement#getAnnotationsByType(Class)`, where repeatable annotations are supported. Parameters <T> the type of the annotation annotationType:Class<T> the class of the annotation type Returns:Set<T> the program element annotations of the given annotation type, or an empty collection

public <T extends Annotation> Set<T> getAnnotations(Class<T> annotationType)

Get program element annotations of a certain annotation type.

This method returns back all annotations, including repeatable annotations of this type. The behavior of this method is intended to be the same behavior as AnnotatedElement#getAnnotationsByType(Class), where repeatable annotations are supported.

Parameters

<T>: the type of the annotation
annotationType:Class<T>: the class of the annotation type

Returns:Set<T>

the program element annotations of the given annotation type, or an empty collection

getAnnotations	back to summary
public Set<Annotation> getAnnotations() Get all annotations of the program element. Returns:Set<Annotation> all annotations of the program element, or an empty set if no annotations are present

getAnnotations

back to summary

public Set<Annotation> getAnnotations()

Get all annotations of the program element.

Returns:Set<Annotation>: all annotations of the program element, or an empty set if no annotations are present

getBaseType	back to summary
public Type getBaseType() Get the type of the annotated program element. Returns:Type the type of the annotated program element

getBaseType

back to summary

public Type getBaseType()

Get the type of the annotated program element.

Returns:Type: the type of the annotated program element

getTypeClosure	back to summary
public Set<Type> getTypeClosure() Get all types to which the base type should be considered assignable. Returns:Set<Type> a set of all types to which the base type should be considered assignable

getTypeClosure

back to summary

public Set<Type> getTypeClosure()

Get all types to which the base type should be considered assignable.

Returns:Set<Type>: a set of all types to which the base type should be considered assignable

isAnnotationPresent back to summary

isAnnotationPresent	back to summary
public boolean isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType) Determine if the program element has an annotation of a certain annotation type. The behavior of this method is similar to `AnnotatedElement#isAnnotationPresent(Class)` for the underlying program element. Parameters annotationType:Class<? extends Annotation> the annotation type to check for Returns:boolean `true` if the program element has an annotation of the given annotation type, or `false` otherwise

public boolean isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)

Determine if the program element has an annotation of a certain annotation type. The behavior of this method is similar to AnnotatedElement#isAnnotationPresent(Class) for the underlying program element.

Parameters

annotationType:Class<? extends Annotation>: the annotation type to check for

Returns:boolean

true if the program element has an annotation of the given annotation type, or false otherwise
