Class AnnotationParser

java.lang.Object

org.infinispan.protostream.impl.parser.AnnotationParser

public final class AnnotationParser
extends Object

Parses all annotations it encounters and fails on first syntactic error. Everything that looks like a syntactically correct annotation will be parsed and returned. At this stage there is no validation of what annotation name is acceptable or not and no validation of attribute value types, multiplicity, etc. These steps are not part of the syntactic analysis and will be performed later.
