Interface Summary

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
public interface	AnnotationFilter Callback interface that can be used to filter specific annotation types.
pack-priv interface	AnnotationsProcessor< the context type C, the result type R> Callback interface used to process annotations.
public interface	MergedAnnotation< the annotation type A extends Annotation> A single merged annotation returned from a `MergedAnnotations` collection.
public interface	MergedAnnotations Provides access to a collection of merged annotations, usually obtained from a source such as a `Class` or `Method`.
public interface	MergedAnnotationSelector< the annotation type A extends Annotation> Strategy interface used to select between two `MergedAnnotation` instances.
pack-priv interface	ValueExtractor Strategy API for extracting a value for an annotation attribute from a given source object which is typically an `Annotation`, `Map`, or `TypeMappedAnnotation`.

Modifier and Type	Annotation and Description
public @interface	AliasFor `@AliasFor` is an annotation that is used to declare aliases for annotation attributes.
public @interface	Order `@Order` defines the sort order for an annotated component.

Class Summary

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
pack-priv abstract class	AbstractMergedAnnotation< the annotation type A extends Annotation> Abstract base class for `MergedAnnotation` implementations.
public abstract class	AnnotatedElementUtils General utility methods for finding annotations, meta-annotations, and repeatable annotations on `AnnotatedElements`.
public class	AnnotatedMethod A convenient wrapper for a `Method` handle, providing deep annotation introspection on methods and method parameters, including the exposure of interface-declared parameter annotations from the concrete target method.
public class	AnnotationAttributes `LinkedHashMap` subclass representing annotation attribute key-value pairs as read by `AnnotationUtils`, `AnnotatedElementUtils`, and Spring's reflection- and ASM-based `org.springframework.core.type.AnnotationMetadata` implementations.
public class	AnnotationAwareOrderComparator `AnnotationAwareOrderComparator` is an extension of `OrderComparator` that supports Spring's `org.springframework.core.Ordered` interface as well as the `@Order` and `@Priority` annotations, with an order value provided by an `Ordered` instance overriding a statically defined annotation value (if any).
public class	AnnotationConfigurationException Thrown by `AnnotationUtils` and synthesized annotations if an annotation is improperly configured.
pack-priv abstract class	AnnotationsScanner Scanner to search for relevant annotations in the annotation hierarchy of an `AnnotatedElement`.
pack-priv class	AnnotationTypeMapping Provides mapping information for a single annotation (or meta-annotation) in the context of a root annotation type.
pack-priv class	AnnotationTypeMappings Provides `AnnotationTypeMapping` information for a single source annotation type.
public abstract class	AnnotationUtils General utility methods for working with annotations, handling meta-annotations, bridge methods (which the compiler generates for generic declarations) as well as super methods (for optional annotation inheritance).
pack-priv class	AttributeMethods Provides a quick way to access the attribute methods of an `Annotation` with consistent ordering as well as a few useful utility methods.
public abstract class	MergedAnnotationCollectors `Collector` implementations that provide various reduction operations for `MergedAnnotation` instances.
public abstract class	MergedAnnotationPredicates Predicate implementations that provide various test operations for `MergedAnnotations`.
pack-priv class	MergedAnnotationsCollection `MergedAnnotations` implementation backed by a `Collection` of `MergedAnnotation` instances that represent direct annotations.
public abstract class	MergedAnnotationSelectors `MergedAnnotationSelector` implementations that provide various options for `MergedAnnotation` instances.
pack-priv class	MissingMergedAnnotation< the annotation type A extends Annotation> An `AbstractMergedAnnotation` used as the implementation of `MergedAnnotation#missing()`.
public abstract class	OrderUtils General utility for determining the order of an object based on its type declaration.
pack-priv class	PackagesAnnotationFilter `AnnotationFilter` implementation used for `AnnotationFilter#packages(String...)`.
public abstract class	RepeatableContainers Strategy used to determine annotations that act as containers for other annotations.
pack-priv class	SynthesizedMergedAnnotationInvocationHandler< the annotation type A extends Annotation> `InvocationHandler` for an `Annotation` that Spring has synthesized (i.e. wrapped in a dynamic proxy) with additional functionality such as attribute alias handling.
public class	SynthesizingMethodParameter A `MethodParameter` variant which synthesizes annotations that declare attribute aliases via `@AliasFor`.
pack-priv class	TypeMappedAnnotation< the annotation type A extends Annotation> `MergedAnnotation` that adapts attributes from a root annotation by applying the mapping and mirroring rules of an `AnnotationTypeMapping`.
pack-priv class	TypeMappedAnnotations `MergedAnnotations` implementation that searches for and adapts annotations and meta-annotations using `AnnotationTypeMappings`.
