public AnnotationValue<?,?> getValue(MethodDescription.InDefinedShape property)

Returns the value of this annotation.

Specified by:

getValue in interface AnnotationDescription

Parameters:

property - The property being accessed.

Returns:

The value for the supplied property.

prepare

public <T extends Annotation> AnnotationDescription.Loadable<T> prepare(Class<T> annotationType)

Specified by:

prepare in interface AnnotationDescription

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the annotation.

Parameters:

annotationType - The loaded annotation type of this annotation description.

Returns:

A loadable version of this annotation description.
