Element Detail

value

public abstract Class<? extends Annotation>[] value

Enumerates the ToolKit annotations this handler processes

Returns:

A Class reference, or an array of classes

after

public abstract Class<?> after

When specified, denotes a handler that must precede the current handler in the execution chain. This property is used to align handlers when execution sequence matters

Returns:

Class of the sibling handler

Default:

com.exadel.aem.toolkit.api.markers._Default.class

before

public abstract Class<?> before

When specified, denotes a handler that must follow the current handler in the execution chain. This property is used to align handlers when execution sequence matters

Returns:

Class of the sibling handler

Default:

com.exadel.aem.toolkit.api.markers._Default.class

scope

public abstract String[] scope

When set, specifies one or more scopes in which this handler is effective, i.e. whether it will be triggered for cq:Component (component root), cq:dialog, cq:editorConfig, or any other appropriate JCR node. Default value is equal to "all applicable scopes".

The latter, however, differs in meaning for widget annotation handlers (where it is cq:dialog and cq:design_dialog together) and class-wide annotation handlers. In the latter case, the default scope matches the scope of the built-in annotations present

Returns:

One or more Scope values
