Method Detail

• public static List<AnnotationNode> getAnnotationNodeInHierarchyWithMetaAnnotation(ClassNode type, ClassNode anno)

  Gets the next AnnotationNode instance in the inheritance line which is annotated with the given Annotation class anno.

  Parameters:

  type - the ClassNode to check for the annotation

  anno - the annotation to watch out for

  Returns:

  the next AnnotationNode in the inheritance line, or null

• public static List<AnnotationNode> getAnnotationNodeInHierarchyWithMetaAnnotation(ClassNode type, MethodNode originMethodNode, ClassNode metaAnnotationClassNode)

  Checks whether there exists a MethodNode up the inheritance tree where exists an annotation which is annotated with metaAnnotationClassNode.

  Parameters:

  type - the origin ClassNode

  originMethodNode - the origin MethodNode

  metaAnnotationClassNode - the ClassNode of the meta-annotation

  Returns:

  a list of AnnotationNode all annotated with metaAnnotationClassNode

• public static boolean hasAnnotationOfType(AnnotatedNode annotatedNode, String typeOrPackageName)

  Checks whether the given ClassNode is annotated with an annotations of the given package or full annotatedNode name.

  Parameters:

  annotatedNode - the AnnotatedNode to search for the given annotation

  typeOrPackageName - can either be a part of the package or the complete annotation class name

  Returns:

  true if an annotation was found, false otherwise

• public static List<AnnotationNode> hasMetaAnnotations(AnnotatedNode annotatedNode, String metaAnnotationClassName)

  Loads all annotation nodes of the given AnnotatedNode instance which are marked with the annotation metaAnnotationClassName.

  Parameters:

  annotatedNode - an AnnotatedNode from which the annotations are checked

  metaAnnotationClassName - the name of the meta annotation

  Returns:

  a list of AnnotationNode instances which implement the given metaAnnotationClass
