Package org.linkki.util.reflection

Class MetaAnnotation<META extends Annotation>

java.lang.Object

org.linkki.util.reflection.MetaAnnotation<META>

Type Parameters:

META - the meta-annotation

public class MetaAnnotation<META extends Annotation>
extends Object

Helper class for handling meta-annotations (Annotations with Target ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Stream<META>	findAllOn(Annotation annotation)	Returns all meta-annotations present on the given Annotation.
Stream<Annotation>	findAnnotatedAnnotationsOn(AnnotatedElement annotatedElement)	Finds all Annotations on the given AnnotatedElement that are annotated with the meta-annotation.
Optional<META>	findOn(Annotation annotation)	Returns the meta-annotation if it is present on the given Annotation.
boolean	isPresentOn(Annotation annotation)	Returns true if the meta-annotation is present on the given Annotation, otherwise false;
boolean	isPresentOnAnyAnnotationOn(AnnotatedElement annotatedElement)	Returns true if the meta-annotation is present on any Annotation on the given AnnotatedElement, otherwise false;
boolean	isRepeatable()	Returns true if the meta-annotation is @Repeatable.
Supplier<? extends IllegalArgumentException>	missingAnnotation(Annotation annotation, AnnotatedElement annotatedElement, String checkerMethod)	Creates a Supplier for an IllegalArgumentException that names the given Annotation on the AnnotatedElement as not having the meta-annotation and suggests using the checkerMethod to safeguard against this exception.
static <META extends Annotation> MetaAnnotation<META>	of(Class<META> metaAnnotationClass)	Creates a new MetaAnnotation<META> from the given Annotation class.
<A extends Annotation> BinaryOperator<A>	onlyOneOn(AnnotatedElement annotatedElement)	Creates a BinaryOperator usable for a Stream.reduce(BinaryOperator) operation on a stream of annotations as returned by findAnnotatedAnnotationsOn(AnnotatedElement) that throws an IllegalArgumentException if there is more than one annotation in the stream.

Method Details

of

public static <META extends Annotation>
MetaAnnotation<META> of(Class<META> metaAnnotationClass)

Creates a new MetaAnnotation<META> from the given Annotation class.

Type Parameters:

META - the meta-annotation class

Parameters:

metaAnnotationClass - the meta-annotation class

Returns:

a MetaAnnotation for the metaAnnotationClass

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given Annotation class is not a meta-annotation

isRepeatable

public boolean isRepeatable()

Returns true if the meta-annotation is @Repeatable.

Returns:

whether the meta-annotation is @Repeatable

isPresentOnAnyAnnotationOn

public boolean isPresentOnAnyAnnotationOn(AnnotatedElement annotatedElement)

Returns true if the meta-annotation is present on any Annotation on the given AnnotatedElement, otherwise false;

Parameters:

annotatedElement - an AnnotatedElement to be checked for meta-annotations on its annotations

Returns:

whether the meta-annotation is present on any Annotation on the given AnnotatedElement

isPresentOn

public boolean isPresentOn(@CheckForNull
 Annotation annotation)

Returns true if the meta-annotation is present on the given Annotation, otherwise false;

Parameters:

annotation - an Annotation to be checked for the meta-annotation

Returns:

whether the meta-annotation is present on the given Annotation

findOn

public Optional<META> findOn(Annotation annotation)

Returns the meta-annotation if it is present on the given Annotation.

If this meta-annotation is repeatable, this method returns an Optional with the single meta-annotation if it was not repeated but throws an IllegalArgumentException if it was.

Parameters:

annotation - an Annotation

Returns:

the meta-annotation instance, if the annotation is annotated with it

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the meta-annotation is repeatable and present multiple times.

See Also:

• findAllOn(Annotation) for repeatable annotations

findAllOn

public Stream<META> findAllOn(Annotation annotation)

Returns all meta-annotations present on the given Annotation.

Parameters:

annotation - an Annotation

Returns:

the meta-annotation instance, if the annotation is annotated with it

findAnnotatedAnnotationsOn

public Stream<Annotation> findAnnotatedAnnotationsOn(AnnotatedElement annotatedElement)

Finds all Annotations on the given AnnotatedElement that are annotated with the meta-annotation.

Parameters:

annotatedElement - an AnnotatedElement

Returns:

a Stream of the Annotations annotated with the meta-annotation

See Also:

• use reduce(onlyOneOn(annotatedElement)) if you expect there to be no more than one such annotation.

onlyOneOn

public <A extends Annotation> BinaryOperator<A> onlyOneOn(AnnotatedElement annotatedElement)

Creates a BinaryOperator usable for a Stream.reduce(BinaryOperator) operation on a stream of annotations as returned by findAnnotatedAnnotationsOn(AnnotatedElement) that throws an IllegalArgumentException if there is more than one annotation in the stream.

Parameters:

annotatedElement - the AnnotatedElement that was passed to findAnnotatedAnnotationsOn(AnnotatedElement); will be included in the exception message

Returns:

a BinaryOperator usable for a Stream.reduce(BinaryOperator) operation on a stream of annotations as returned by findAnnotatedAnnotationsOn(AnnotatedElement)

missingAnnotation

public Supplier<? extends IllegalArgumentException> missingAnnotation(Annotation annotation,
 AnnotatedElement annotatedElement,
 String checkerMethod)

Creates a Supplier for an IllegalArgumentException that names the given Annotation on the AnnotatedElement as not having the meta-annotation and suggests using the checkerMethod to safeguard against this exception.

Parameters:

annotation - an Annotation on the AnnotatedElement

annotatedElement - an AnnotatedElement

checkerMethod - description of a method to be called before the method that throws this exception to safeguard against it

Returns:

a Supplier for an IllegalArgumentException
