Interface IAnnotationFinder

All Known Implementing Classes:
JDK15AnnotationFinder
public interface IAnnotationFinder
This interface defines how annotations are found on classes, methods and constructors. It will be implemented by both JDK 1.4 and JDK 5 annotation finders.

  • Method Details

    • findAnnotation

      <A extends IAnnotation> A findAnnotation(Class<?> cls, Class<A> annotationClass)
      Type Parameters:
      A - The expected IAnnotation type
      Parameters:
      cls - - The corresponding class.
      annotationClass - - The class on which annotation is to be looked for.
      Returns:
      The annotation on the class or null if none found.

    • findAnnotation

      <A extends IAnnotation> A findAnnotation(Method m, Class<A> annotationClass)
      Type Parameters:
      A - The expected IAnnotation type
      Parameters:
      m - - The corresponding Method
      annotationClass - - The class on which annotation is to be looked for.
      Returns:
      The annotation on the method. If not found, return the annotation on the declaring class. If not found, return null.

    • findAnnotation

      <A extends IAnnotation> A findAnnotation(ITestNGMethod m, Class<A> annotationClass)

    • findAnnotation

      <A extends IAnnotation> A findAnnotation(ConstructorOrMethod com, Class<A> annotationClass)

    • findAnnotation

      <A extends IAnnotation> A findAnnotation(Class<?> clazz, Method m, Class<A> annotationClass)

    • findAnnotation

      <A extends IAnnotation> A findAnnotation(Constructor<?> cons, Class<A> annotationClass)
      Type Parameters:
      A - The expected IAnnotation type
      Parameters:
      cons - - The corresponding Constructor
      annotationClass - - The class on which annotation is to be looked for.
      Returns:
      The annotation on the method. If not found, return the annotation on the declaring class. If not found, return null.

    • findInheritedAnnotations

      <A extends IAnnotation> List<A> findInheritedAnnotations(Class<?> cls, Class<A> annotationClass)
      Type Parameters:
      A - - The expected IAnnotation type
      Parameters:
      cls - - The corresponding class.
      annotationClass - - The class on which annotation is to be looked for.
      Returns:
      The annotations on the inherited interfaces. If not found, return the annotations on the declaring interface. If not found, return an empty list.

    • hasTestInstance

      boolean hasTestInstance(Method method, int i)
      Parameters:
      method - The Method
      i - The parameter index
      Returns:
      true if the ith parameter of the given method has the annotation @TestInstance.

    • findOptionalValues

      String[] findOptionalValues(Method method)
      Parameters:
      method - The Method
      Returns:
      the @Optional values of this method's parameters (null if the parameter isn't optional)

    • findOptionalValues

      String[] findOptionalValues(Constructor<?> ctor)
      Parameters:
      ctor - The Constructor
      Returns:
      the @Optional values of this method's parameters (null if the parameter isn't optional)
