public interface AnnotationSource

Implemented by objects that can have annotations.

Method Summary

boolean	hasAnnotation(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType) Returns true if the property has the specified annotation.
<A extends Annotation> A	readAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType) Gets the value of the specified annotation from the given property.

Method Detail

readAnnotation

<A extends Annotation> A readAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)

Gets the value of the specified annotation from the given property.

When this method is used for a property that consists of a getter and setter, it returns the annotation on either of those methods. If both methods have the same annotation, it is an error.

Returns:

null if the annotation is not present.

hasAnnotation

boolean hasAnnotation(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)

Returns true if the property has the specified annotation.

Short for readAnnotation(annotationType)!=null, but this method is typically faster.
