Method Detail

getJavaClass

Class<X> getJavaClass()

Get the underlying Class.

Returns:

the Class

getConstructors

Set<AnnotatedConstructor<X>> getConstructors()

Get the constructors of the type. If an empty set is returned, a default constructor with no parameters will be assumed.

Returns:

the constructors, or an empty set if none are defined

getMethods

Set<AnnotatedMethod<? super X>> getMethods()

Get the methods of the type.

Returns:

the methods, or an empty set if none are defined

getFields

Set<AnnotatedField<? super X>> getFields()

Get the fields of the type.

Returns:

the fields, or an empty set if none are defined

getAnnotations

default <T extends Annotation> Set<T> getAnnotations(Class<T> annotationType)

Description copied from interface: Annotated

Get program element annotations of a certain annotation type.

This method returns back all annotations, including repeatable annotations of this type. The behavior of this method is intended to be the same behavior as AnnotatedElement.getAnnotationsByType(Class), where repeatable annotations are supported.

Specified by:

getAnnotations in interface Annotated

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the annotation

Parameters:

annotationType - the class of the annotation type

Returns:

the program element annotations of the given annotation type, or an empty collection
