Annotation Type StubValue

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=PARAMETER)
public @interface StubValue

A stub value represents the (boxed) default value of the intercepted method's return type. This value can only be assigned to a Object parameter. This annotation is useful to conditionally return a default value from a method when using an Object return type in combination with the RuntimeType annotation. The value is either representing null if a method returns a reference type or void or a boxed primitive of the return type representing the numeric value 0.

Important: Don't confuse this annotation with Advice.StubValue annotation. This annotation should be used only in combination with method delegation (MethodDelegation.to(...)). For Advice ASM visitor use alternative annotation from net.bytebuddy.asm.Advice package.
