    • getAnnotations

      public Annotation[] getAnnotations()
      Obtain the annotations associated with the wrapped field or method/constructor parameter.

    • getAnnotation

      @Nullable public <A extends Annotation> A getAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)
      Retrieve a field/parameter annotation of the given type, if any.
      Parameters:
      annotationType - the annotation type to retrieve
      Returns:
      the annotation instance, or null if none found
      Since:
      4.3.9

    • getDeclaredType

      public Class<?> getDeclaredType()
      Return the type declared by the underlying field or method/constructor parameter, indicating the injection type.

    • getMember

      public Member getMember()
      Returns the wrapped member, containing the injection point.
      Returns:
      the Field / Method / Constructor as Member

    • getAnnotatedElement

      public AnnotatedElement getAnnotatedElement()
      Return the wrapped annotated element.

      Note: In case of a method/constructor parameter, this exposes the annotations declared on the method or constructor itself (i.e. at the method/constructor level, not at the parameter level). Use getAnnotations() to obtain parameter-level annotations in such a scenario, transparently with corresponding field annotations.

      Returns:
      the Field / Method / Constructor as AnnotatedElement
