Class AnnotationLiteral<T extends Annotation>

java.lang.Object

org.glassfish.hk2.api.AnnotationLiteral<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the annotation type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Annotation

Direct Known Subclasses:

NamedImpl, RunLevelServiceUtilities.RunLevelImpl, ServiceLocatorUtilities.ImmediateImpl, ServiceLocatorUtilities.InheritableThreadImpl, ServiceLocatorUtilities.PerLookupImpl, ServiceLocatorUtilities.PerThreadImpl, ServiceLocatorUtilities.SingletonImpl, UnqualifiedImpl

public abstract class AnnotationLiteral<T extends Annotation>
extends Object
implements Annotation, Serializable

Supports inline instantiation of annotation type instances.

An instance of an annotation type may be obtained by subclassing AnnotationLiteral.

public abstract class PayByQualifier 
      extends AnnotationLiteral<PayBy>
      implements PayBy {}

An extension of AnnotationLiteral must do two things:

1. Must have the target annotation as its generic type
2. Must implement the target type

In particular, in-line anonymous extensions of AnnotationLiteral will not work because in-line anonymous extensions of AnnotationLiteral cannot implement the target annotation
