Interface AnnotatedParameterizedType

All Superinterfaces:: AnnotatedElement, AnnotatedType

public interface AnnotatedParameterizedType extends AnnotatedType

AnnotatedParameterizedType represents the potentially annotated use of a parameterized type, whose type arguments may themselves represent annotated uses of types.

See Java Language Specification:: 4.5 Parameterized Types
Since:: 1.8

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`AnnotatedType[]`	`getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments()`	Returns the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type.
`AnnotatedType`	`getAnnotatedOwnerType()`	Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type.

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

getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments

AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments()

Returns the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type.

Note that in some cases, the returned array can be empty. This can occur if this annotated type represents a non-parameterized type nested within a parameterized type.

Returns:

the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type

See Also:

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 if this AnnotatedType represents a top-level class or interface, or a local or anonymous class, or a primitive type, or void.

Specified by:: getAnnotatedOwnerType in interface AnnotatedType
Returns:: an AnnotatedType object representing the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, or null
Throws:: TypeNotPresentException - if the owner type refers to a non-existent class or interface declaration; MalformedParameterizedTypeException - if the owner type refers to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason
