All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface AnnotationAccess

Introduced for Tapestry 5.3, contains new methods to provide access to annotations on the class, and on methods of the class. In rare cases, the same annotation type will appear on the service interface and on the class (or method implementation in the class); the implementation annotation always has precedence over the interface annotation.

Since:
5.3

Method Summary
 AnnotationProvider getClassAnnotationProvider()
          Returns a provider for annotations on the service class and interface.
 AnnotationProvider getMethodAnnotationProvider(String methodName, Class... parameterTypes)
          Returns a provider for annotations of a method of the class.
 

Method Detail

getClassAnnotationProvider

AnnotationProvider getClassAnnotationProvider()
Returns a provider for annotations on the service class and interface. This will reflect annotations defined by the implementation class itself, plus annotations defined by the service interface (implementation class annotations take precedence).


getMethodAnnotationProvider

AnnotationProvider getMethodAnnotationProvider(String methodName,
                                               Class... parameterTypes)
Returns a provider for annotations of a method of the class. This includes annotations on the implementation method, plus annotations on the corresponding service interface method (if such a method exists), with precedence on the implementation class method annotations.
