Interface AnnotatedArrayType

All Superinterfaces:: AnnotatedElement, AnnotatedType

public interface AnnotatedArrayType extends AnnotatedType

AnnotatedArrayType represents the potentially annotated use of an array type, whose component type may itself represent the annotated use of a type.

See Java Language Specification:: 10.1 Array Types
Since:: 1.8

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`AnnotatedType`	`getAnnotatedGenericComponentType()`	Returns the potentially annotated generic component type of this array type.
`AnnotatedType`	`getAnnotatedOwnerType()`	Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested class or interface.

Methods declared in 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.

Methods declared in interface AnnotatedType

getAnnotation, getAnnotations, getDeclaredAnnotations, getType

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`<T extends Annotation> T`	`getAnnotation(Class<T> annotationClass)`	Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is present, else null.
`Annotation[]`	`getAnnotations()`	Returns annotations that are present on this element.
`Annotation[]`	`getDeclaredAnnotations()`	Returns annotations that are directly present on this element.
`Type`	`getType()`	Returns the underlying type that this annotated type represents.

Method Details

getAnnotatedGenericComponentType

AnnotatedType getAnnotatedGenericComponentType()

Returns the potentially annotated generic component type of this array type.

Returns:

the potentially annotated generic component type of this array type

getAnnotatedOwnerType

AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()

Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested class or interface. 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 AnnotatedArrayType.
