Gets all the qualifiers from the object

Parameters:

getQualifiersFromClass

public static java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getQualifiersFromClass(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

Gets all the qualifiers from the object

getQualifierAnnotations

public static java.util.Set<java.lang.annotation.Annotation> getQualifierAnnotations(java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement annotatedGuy)

Gets all the qualifier annotations from the object

A strange behavior of this method is that if the annotatedGuy is a field and that field has the Named annotation on it with no value, then that Named annotation will NOT be added to the return list. This is because we have no access at this level to AnnotationLiteral, and hence cannot create a NamedImpl with which to fix the annotation. It is the responsibility of the caller of this method to add in the NamedImpl in that circumstance

Parameters:

annotatedGuy - The thing to analyze

Returns:

The set of qualifiers. Will not return null but may return an empty set
