Interface AnnotatedArrayType

All Superinterfaces:

AnnotatedElement, AnnotatedType

public interface AnnotatedArrayType
extends AnnotatedType

AnnotatedArrayType represents the potentially annotated use of an array type, whose component type may itself represent the annotated use of a type.

See Java Language Specification:

10.1 Array Types

Since:

1.8

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AnnotatedType	getAnnotatedGenericComponentType()	Returns the potentially annotated generic component type of this array type.
AnnotatedType	getAnnotatedOwnerType()	Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested class or interface.

Methods declared in interface AnnotatedElement

getAnnotationsByType, getDeclaredAnnotation, getDeclaredAnnotationsByType, isAnnotationPresent

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default <T extends Annotation> T[]	getAnnotationsByType(Class<T> annotationClass)	Returns annotations that are associated with this element.
default <T extends Annotation> T	getDeclaredAnnotation(Class<T> annotationClass)	Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is directly present, else null.
default <T extends Annotation> T[]	getDeclaredAnnotationsByType(Class<T> annotationClass)	Returns this element's annotation(s) for the specified type if such annotations are either directly present or indirectly present.
default boolean	isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationClass)	Returns true if an annotation for the specified type is present on this element, else false.

Methods declared in interface AnnotatedType

getAnnotation, getAnnotations, getDeclaredAnnotations, getType

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<T extends Annotation> T	getAnnotation(Class<T> annotationClass)	Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is present, else null.
Annotation[]	getAnnotations()	Returns annotations that are present on this element.
Annotation[]	getDeclaredAnnotations()	Returns annotations that are directly present on this element.

Method Details

getAnnotatedGenericComponentType

AnnotatedType getAnnotatedGenericComponentType()

Returns null for an AnnotatedType that is an instance of AnnotatedArrayType.
