public class AnnotationElement
extends PortableAnnotationElement

Bridge/portability class for resolving annotations in JDK 1.4 and JDK1.5 Should be usable in JDK 1.4 and also should support finding invisible annotations. This would be needed for aspect bindings

Method Detail

getVisibleAnnotation

public static <T extends Annotation> T getVisibleAnnotation(Method method,
                                                            Class<T> annotation)

Get a visible annotation for a particle Method. If this is JDK 1.5 then this is a wrapper for Method.getAnnotation

Parameters:

method -

annotation -

Returns:

getVisibleAnnotation

public static <T extends Annotation> T getVisibleAnnotation(Constructor<?> con,

If constructor has visible annotation return it. If this is JDK 1.5 this is a wrapper for Constructor.getAnnotation()

Parameters:

con -

annotation -

Returns:

getVisibleAnnotation

If field has a visible annotation return it. If this is JDK 1.5 this is a wrapper for Field.getAnnotation.

Parameters:

field -

annotation -

Returns:
