findInheritedMemberAnnotation

public static <A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> A findInheritedMemberAnnotation(java.lang.Class<A> annotationClass,
                                                                                          java.lang.Class enclosingClass,
                                                                                          java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject member)

Apply the jsr250 annotation algorithm to retrieve the annotation value for the given member. This method has to be called by after the lookup for the member has been executed.

Type Parameters:

A -

Parameters:

annotationClass -

enclosingClass -

member -

Returns:

findFieldAnnotation

public static <A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> A findFieldAnnotation(java.lang.Class<A> annotationClass,
                                                                                java.lang.Class targetClass,
                                                                                java.lang.String fieldName,

Returns the annotation for the given field (specified by name and type) using the inheritance mechanism defined in JSR 250. If the annotation is not found in the target class, the super classes will be searched for annotation using the jsr250 specs inheritance mechanism.

Type Parameters:

A -

Parameters:

annotationClass - annotation class to look for

targetClass - target class to look at

fieldName - field name

fieldType - field type (optional - can be null)

Returns:

null if no annotation was found using the algorithm, not null otherwise

findMethodAnnotation

public static <A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> A findMethodAnnotation(java.lang.Class<A> annotationClass,
                                                                                 java.lang.Class targetClass,
                                                                                 java.lang.String methodName,
                                                                                 java.lang.Class... parameterTypes)

Returns the annotation for the given method (specified by name and parameterTypes) using the inheritance mechanism defined in JSR 250. If the annotation is not found in the target class, the super classes will be searched for the annotation using the jsr250 spec inheritance mechanism.

Type Parameters:

A -

Parameters:

annotationClass -

targetClass -

methodName -
