Method Detail

readAnnotation

<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> A readAnnotation(java.lang.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(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotationType)
Returns true if the property has the specified annotation.

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