Interface TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.Loaded<U>

Type Parameters:

U - The type of the loaded value of this annotation.

All Known Implementing Classes:

TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationInvocationHandler.DefaultValue, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.ForAnnotation.IncompatibleRuntimeType, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.ForAnnotation.LegalRuntimeType, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.ForComplexArray.Loaded, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.ForEnumeration.IncompatibleRuntimeType, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.ForEnumeration.LegalRuntimeEnumeration, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.ForEnumeration.UnknownRuntimeEnumeration, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.ForType.Loaded, TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.Trivial.Loaded

Enclosing interface:

TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue<T,S>

public static interface TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.Loaded<U>

A loaded variant of a TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue. While implementations of this value are required to be processed successfully by a ClassLoader they might still be unresolved. Typical errors on loading an annotation value are:

• IncompleteAnnotationException: An annotation does not define a value even though no default value for a property is provided.
• EnumConstantNotPresentException: An annotation defines an unknown value for a known enumeration.
• AnnotationTypeMismatchException: An annotation property is not of the expected type.

Implementations of this interface must implement methods for Object.hashCode() and Object.toString() that resemble those used for the annotation values of an actual Annotation implementation. Also, instances must implement Object.equals(Object) to return true for other instances of this interface that represent the same annotation value.

Method Detail

getState

TypePool.LazyTypeDescription.AnnotationValue.Loaded.State getState()

Returns the state of the represented loaded annotation value.

Returns:

The state represented by this instance.

resolve

U resolve()

Resolves the value to the actual value of an annotation. Calling this method might throw a runtime exception if this value is either not defined or not resolved.

Returns:

The actual annotation value represented by this instance.
