Constructor Detail

StandardAnnotationMetadata

public StandardAnnotationMetadata(Class introspectedClass)
Method Detail

getAnnotationTypes

public Set<String> getAnnotationTypes()
Description copied from interface: AnnotationMetadata
Return the names of all annotation types defined on the underlying class.

Specified by:
getAnnotationTypes in interface AnnotationMetadata
Returns:
the annotation type names

hasAnnotation

public boolean hasAnnotation(String annotationType)
Description copied from interface: AnnotationMetadata
Determine whether the underlying class has an annotation of the given type defined.

Specified by:
hasAnnotation in interface AnnotationMetadata
Parameters:
annotationType - the annotation type to look for
Returns:
whether a matching annotation is defined

getMetaAnnotationTypes

public Set<String> getMetaAnnotationTypes(String annotationType)
Description copied from interface: AnnotationMetadata
Return the names of all meta-annotation types defined on the given annotation type of the underlying class.

Specified by:
getMetaAnnotationTypes in interface AnnotationMetadata
Returns:
the meta-annotation type names

hasMetaAnnotation

public boolean hasMetaAnnotation(String annotationType)
Description copied from interface: AnnotationMetadata
Determine whether the underlying class has an annotation that is itself annotated with the meta-annotation of the given type.

Specified by:
hasMetaAnnotation in interface AnnotationMetadata
Parameters:
annotationType - the meta-annotation type to look for
Returns:
whether a matching meta-annotation is defined

getAnnotationAttributes

public Map<String,Object> getAnnotationAttributes(String annotationType)
Description copied from interface: AnnotationMetadata
Retrieve the attributes of the annotation of the given type, if any (i.e. if defined on the underlying class).

Specified by:
getAnnotationAttributes in interface AnnotationMetadata
Parameters:
annotationType - the annotation type to look for
Returns:
a Map of attributes, with the attribute name as key (e.g. "value") and the defined attribute value as Map value. This return value will be null if no matching annotation is defined.
