Interface AnnotatedParameterizedType

All Superinterfaces:

AnnotatedElement, AnnotatedType

public interface AnnotatedParameterizedType
extends AnnotatedType

AnnotatedParameterizedType represents the potentially annotated use of a parameterized type, whose type arguments may themselves represent annotated uses of types.

See Java Language Specification:

4.5 Parameterized Types

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AnnotatedType[]	getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments()	Returns the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type.
AnnotatedType	getAnnotatedOwnerType()	Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type.

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.

Method Details

getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments

AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments()

Returns the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type.

Note that in some cases, the returned array can be empty. This can occur if this annotated type represents a non-parameterized type nested within a parameterized type.

Returns:

the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type

See Also:

• ParameterizedType.getActualTypeArguments()

getAnnotatedOwnerType

AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()

Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type. For example, if this type is @TA O<T>.I<S>, return a representation of @TA O<T>.

Returns null if this AnnotatedType represents a top-level class or interface, or a local or anonymous class, or a primitive type, or void.

Specified by:

getAnnotatedOwnerType in interface AnnotatedType

Returns:

an AnnotatedType object representing the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, or null

Throws:

TypeNotPresentException - if the owner type refers to a non-existent class or interface declaration

MalformedParameterizedTypeException - if the owner type refers to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason
