Constructor Details

UnknownAnnotationValueException

public UnknownAnnotationValueException(AnnotationValue av, Object p)

Creates a new UnknownAnnotationValueException. The p parameter may be used to pass in an additional argument with information about the context in which the unknown annotation value was encountered; for example, the visit methods of AnnotationValueVisitor may pass in their additional parameter.

Parameters:: av - the unknown annotation value, may be null; p - an additional parameter, may be null

Method Details

getUnknownAnnotationValue

public AnnotationValue getUnknownAnnotationValue()

Returns the unknown annotation value. The value may be unavailable if this exception has been serialized and then read back in.

Returns:: the unknown element, or null if unavailable
