Specified by:

getDeclaredAttribute in interface IModelType

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if no attribute exists for the given index.

getAssociation

searchDeclaredMethod

public <T extends Annotation> Method searchDeclaredMethod(Class<T> annotationClass,
                                                          Type.AnnotatedElementMatcher<T> matcher)

Searches for a method with the given annotation that matches the condition defined by a matcher. Only methods in this type's declaration class are considered, thus no methods from super classes are found.

Parameters:

annotationClass - the class of the annotation the method must be annotated with

matcher - matcher to determine if the annotation has the correct properties

Returns:

the first method that is both annotated with the given annotation and has the correct annotated properties. null if no such method can be found.
