Interface ExecutableMethodProcessor<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>

  • Type Parameters:
    A - The annotation type, which should be a stereotype of Executable
    All Superinterfaces:
    AnnotationProcessor<A,​ExecutableMethod<?,​?>>

    public interface ExecutableMethodProcessor<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>
    extends AnnotationProcessor<A,​ExecutableMethod<?,​?>>

    A class capable of processing an ExecutableMethod instances.

    The use case here is framework components that need to react to the presence of an annotation. For example given the following annotation:

     @Executable
     @Retention(RUNTIME)
     @Target(ElementType.METHOD)
     public @interface Scheduled {
     String cron()
     }
     

    One could write a ExecutableMethodProcessor that processed all methods annotated with @Scheduled:

     
     public class MyProcessor implements ExecutableMethodProcessor<Scheduled> {
     }
