All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<String,Object>

public class AnnotationAttributes
extends LinkedHashMap<String,Object>

LinkedHashMap subclass representing annotation attribute key-value pairs as read by AnnotationUtils, AnnotatedElementUtils, and Spring's reflection- and ASM-based AnnotationMetadata implementations.

Provides 'pseudo-reification' to avoid noisy Map generics in the calling code as well as convenience methods for looking up annotation attributes in a type-safe fashion.

3.1.1
