Interface AnnotatedTypeVariable

All Superinterfaces:

AnnotatedElement, AnnotatedType

public interface AnnotatedTypeVariable
extends AnnotatedType

AnnotatedTypeVariable represents the potentially annotated use of a type variable, whose declaration may have bounds which themselves represent annotated uses of types.

See Java Language Specification:

4.4 Type Variables

Since:

1.8

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AnnotatedType[]	getAnnotatedBounds()	Returns the potentially annotated bounds of this type variable.
AnnotatedType	getAnnotatedOwnerType()	Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type.

Methods inherited from 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.

Method Details

getAnnotatedBounds

AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedBounds()

Returns the potentially annotated bounds of this type variable. If no bound is explicitly declared, the bound is unannotated Object.

Returns:

the potentially annotated bounds of this type variable

• TypeVariable.getBounds()

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 for an AnnotatedType that is an instance of AnnotatedTypeVariable.

Specified by:

getAnnotatedOwnerType in interface AnnotatedType

Returns:

null
