public Interface AnnotationValue<T, S>

Known Direct Implementers

net.bytebuddy.description.annotation.AnnotationValue.AbstractBase

Type Parameters

<T>: The represented value's unloaded type.
<S>: The represented value's loaded type.

Imports

edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.SuppressFBWarnings, net.bytebuddy.ClassFileVersion, net.bytebuddy.build.CachedReturnPlugin, net.bytebuddy.description.enumeration.EnumerationDescription, net.bytebuddy.description.method.MethodDescription, net.bytebuddy.description.type.TypeDefinition, .TypeDescription, net.bytebuddy.utility.nullability.AlwaysNull, .MaybeNull, java.lang.annotation.Annotation, .AnnotationTypeMismatchException, .IncompleteAnnotationException, java.lang.reflect.Array, .Method, java.util.*

Representation of an unloaded annotation value where all values represent either:

Primitive values (as their wrappers), Strings or arrays of primitive types or strings.
A TypeDescription or an array of such a descriptions.
An EnumerationDescription or an array of such a description.
An AnnotationDescription or an array of such a description.

The represented values are not necessarily resolvable, i.e. can contain non-available types, unknown enumeration constants or inconsistent annotations.
