Method Detail

load

S load()
throws ClassNotFoundException

Loads this annotation description. This causes all classes referenced by the annotation value to be loaded. Without specifying a class loader, the annotation's class loader which was used to prepare this instance is used.

Returns:

A loaded version of this annotation description.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - If any linked classes of the annotation cannot be loaded.

load

S load(ClassLoader classLoader)
throws ClassNotFoundException

Loads this annotation description. This causes all classes referenced by the annotation value to be loaded.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to be used for loading the annotation's linked types.

Returns:

A loaded version of this annotation description.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - If any linked classes of the annotation cannot be loaded.

loadSilent

S loadSilent()

Loads this annotation description. This causes all classes referenced by the annotation value to be loaded. Without specifying a class loader, the annotation's class loader which was used to prepare this instance is used. Any ClassNotFoundException is wrapped in an IllegalStateException.

Returns:

A loaded version of this annotation description.

loadSilent

S loadSilent(ClassLoader classLoader)

Loads this annotation description. This causes all classes referenced by the annotation value to be loaded. Any ClassNotFoundException is wrapped in an IllegalStateException.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to be used for loading the annotation's linked types.

Returns:

A loaded version of this annotation description.
