  • Method Details

    • readAnnotation

      <A extends Annotation> A readAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)
      Gets the value of the specified annotation from the given property.

      When this method is used for a property that consists of a getter and setter, it returns the annotation on either of those methods. If both methods have the same annotation, it is an error.

      Returns:
      null if the annotation is not present.

    • hasAnnotation

      boolean hasAnnotation(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)
      Returns true if the property has the specified annotation.

      Short for readAnnotation(annotationType)!=null, but this method is typically faster.
