public interface AnnotatedParameterizedType extends AnnotatedType
AnnotatedParameterizedType represents the potentially annotated use of a parameterized type, whose type arguments may themselves represent annotated uses of types.

  • Method Details

    • getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments

      AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments()
      Returns the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type.

      Note that in some cases, the returned array can be empty. This can occur if this annotated type represents a non-parameterized type nested within a parameterized type.

      Returns:
      the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type
      See Also:
      ParameterizedType.getActualTypeArguments()
    • getAnnotatedOwnerType

      AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()
      Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type. For example, if this type is @TA O<T>.I<S>, return a representation of @TA O<T>.

      Returns null if this AnnotatedType represents a top-level class or interface, or a local or anonymous class, or a primitive type, or void.

      Specified by:
      getAnnotatedOwnerType in interface AnnotatedType
      Returns:
      an AnnotatedType object representing the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, or null
      Throws:
      TypeNotPresentException - if the owner type refers to a non-existent class or interface declaration
      MalformedParameterizedTypeException - if the owner type refers to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason
