• getAnnotationFor

  public static <T extends Annotation> Optional<T> getAnnotationFor(Field field, Class<T> annotationType)

  Helper to get an annotation for a field.

  Type Parameters:

  T - the annotation type

  Parameters:

  field - the field to check

  annotationType - the annotation type to look for

  Returns:

  an Optional annotation of the given type, or an empty Optional if the field does not have the given annotation

• getAnnotationFor

  public static <T extends Annotation> Optional<T> getAnnotationFor(Class<?> clazz, Class<T> annotationType)

  Helper to get an annotation for a class. If the annotation is not present on the target class, its super classes and implemented interfaces are also searched for the annotation.

  Type Parameters:

  T - the annotation type

  Parameters:

  clazz - the class from which the annotation should be found

  annotationType - the annotation type to look for

  Returns:

  an Optional annotation of the given type

• getAnnotationValueFor

  public static <A extends Annotation, T> Optional<T> getAnnotationValueFor(Class<?> clazz, Class<A> annotationType, Function<A,T> valueExtractor)

  Gets a value from an annotation for a class. If the annotation is not present on the target class, its super classes and implemented interfaces are also searched for the annotation.

  Type Parameters:

  A - the annotation type

  T - the annotation value type

  Parameters:

  clazz - the class from which the annotation should be found

  annotationType - the annotation type to look for

  valueExtractor - the function for extracting the value from the annotation if an annotation is present

  Returns:

  an Optional annotation value

• getAnnotationsFor

  public static <T extends Annotation> List<T> getAnnotationsFor(Class<?> clazz, Class<T> annotationType)

  Helper to get annotations for a class by searching recursively the class and all its super classes and implemented interfaces and their parent interfaces.

  The annotations in the list are ordered top-down according to the class hierarchy. For each hierarchy level, the annotations from interfaces implemented at that level are on the list before the annotations of the class itself.

  NOTE: the list may contain annotations with the same values.

  Type Parameters:

  T - the annotation type

  Parameters:

  clazz - the class from which the annotation should be found

  annotationType - the annotation type to look for

  Returns:

  a list containing all the annotations found

• getAnnotationValuesFor

  public static <A extends Annotation, T> Stream<T> getAnnotationValuesFor(Class<?> clazz, Class<A> annotationType, Function<A,T> valueExtractor)

  Gets values from annotations for a class by searching recursively the class and all its super classes and implemented interfaces and their parent interfaces.

  The values in the stream are ordered top-down according to the class hierarchy. For each hierarchy level, the values from annotations of interfaces implemented at that level are on the list before the values from annotations of the class itself.

  NOTE: the stream may contain duplicates

  Type Parameters:

  A - the annotation type

  T - the annotation value type

  Parameters:

  clazz - the class from which the annotation should be found

  annotationType - the annotation type to look for

  valueExtractor - the function for extracting the value from any found annotation

  Returns:

  a list containing all the annotations found
