Public Methods
public abstract Map<String, Object> getAnnotationAttributes (String annotationType)
Retrieve the attributes of the annotation of the given type, if any (i.e. if defined on the underlying method, as direct annotation or as meta-annotation).
Parameters
| annotationType | the annotation type to look for |
|---|
Returns
- a Map of attributes, with the attribute name as key (e.g. "value")
and the defined attribute value as Map value. This return value will be
nullif no matching annotation is defined.
public abstract String getDeclaringClassName ()
Return the fully-qualified name of the class that declares this method.
public abstract String getMethodReturnType ()
Return the fully-qualified name of the return type of the method.
public abstract boolean isAnnotated (String annotationType)
Determine whether the underlying method has an annotation or meta-annotation of the given type defined.
Parameters
| annotationType | the annotation type to look for |
|---|
Returns
- whether a matching annotation is defined
public abstract boolean isFinal ()
Return whether the underlying method is marked as 'final'.
public abstract boolean isOverridable ()
Return whether the underlying method is overridable, i.e. not marked as static, final or private.
public abstract boolean isStatic ()
Return whether the underlying method is declared as 'static'.
