Method Summary

java.lang.annotation.Annotation[]	getAnnotations() Return an array of all annotations attached to the element.
<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A>	getAnnotations(java.lang.Class<A> c) Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class.
<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A>	getAnnotations(ClassEx<A> c) Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class.
java.lang.annotation.Annotation[]	getDeclaredAnnotations() Return an array of all annotations attached directly to the element.
<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A>	getDeclaredAnnotations(java.lang.Class<A> c) Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class.
<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A>	getDeclaredAnnotations(ClassEx<A> c) Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class.
boolean	isAnnotationPresent(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c) Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false.
boolean	isAnnotationPresent(ClassEx<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c) Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false.
boolean	isAvailable() Returns true if the class file was found and additional information is available beyond what Java's Class class might return.
boolean	isDeclaredAnnotationPresent(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c) Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false.
boolean	isDeclaredAnnotationPresent(ClassEx<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c) Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false.

Method Detail

isAvailable

boolean isAvailable()

Returns true if the class file was found and additional information is available beyond what Java's Class class might return.

Returns:

true if class file was found.

isAnnotationPresent

boolean isAnnotationPresent(ClassEx<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c)

Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false. This method is designed primarily for convenient access to marker annotations.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

true if present

isAnnotationPresent

boolean isAnnotationPresent(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c)

Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false. This method is designed primarily for convenient access to marker annotations.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

true if present

getAnnotations

<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A> getAnnotations(ClassEx<A> c)

Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

array of annotations

getAnnotations

<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A> getAnnotations(java.lang.Class<A> c)

Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

array of annotations

getAnnotations

java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] getAnnotations()

Return an array of all annotations attached to the element.

Returns:

array of annotations

isDeclaredAnnotationPresent

boolean isDeclaredAnnotationPresent(ClassEx<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c)

Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false. This method is designed primarily for convenient access to marker annotations. Contrary to isAnnotationPresent, this does not consider annotations inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

true if present

isDeclaredAnnotationPresent

boolean isDeclaredAnnotationPresent(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> c)

Returns true if an annotation for the specified type or one of its subtypes is present on this element, else false. This method is designed primarily for convenient access to marker annotations. Contrary to isAnnotationPresent, this does not consider annotations inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

true if present

getDeclaredAnnotations

<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A> getDeclaredAnnotations(ClassEx<A> c)

Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class. Contrary to getAnnotations, this does not consider annotations inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

array of annotations

getDeclaredAnnotations

<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.List<A> getDeclaredAnnotations(java.lang.Class<A> c)

Return an array of the annotations attached to the element that are subclasses of the specified class. Contrary to isAnnotationPresent, this does not consider annotations inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

c - class

Returns:

array of annotations

getDeclaredAnnotations

java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] getDeclaredAnnotations()

Return an array of all annotations attached directly to the element. Contrary to getAnnotations(), this does not consider annotations inherited from superclasses.

Returns:

array of annotations
