Class AnnotationDB

java.lang.Object

org.scannotation.AnnotationDB

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class AnnotationDB
extends Object
implements Serializable

The class allows you to scan an arbitrary set of "archives" for .class files. These class files are parsed to see what annotations they use. Two indexes are created. The javax, java, sun, com.sun, and javassist packages will not be scanned by default.

One is a map of annotations and what classes use those annotations. This could be used, for example, by an EJB deployer to find all the EJBs contained in the archive

Another is a mpa of classes and what annotations those classes use.

public AnnotationDB()

Method Detail

getScanPackages

public String[] getScanPackages()

setScanPackages

public void setScanPackages(String[] scanPackages)

Set explicit packages to scan. Set to null to enable ignore list.

Parameters:

scanPackages - packages to scan or null

getIgnoredPackages

public String[] getIgnoredPackages()

setIgnoredPackages

public void setIgnoredPackages(String[] ignoredPackages)

Override/overwrite any ignored packages

Parameters:

ignoredPackages - cannot be null

addIgnoredPackages

public void addIgnoredPackages(String... ignored)

crossReferenceMetaAnnotations

public void crossReferenceMetaAnnotations()
                                   throws AnnotationDB.CrossReferenceException

This method will cross reference annotations in the annotation index with any meta-annotations that they have and create additional entries as needed. For example:

Throws:

AnnotationDB.CrossReferenceException

crossReferenceImplementedInterfaces

public void crossReferenceImplementedInterfaces()
                                         throws AnnotationDB.CrossReferenceException

Sometimes you want to see if a particular class implements an interface with certain annotations After you have loaded all your classpaths with the scanArchive() method, call this method to cross reference a class's implemented interfaces. The cross references will be added to the annotationIndex and classIndex indexes

Throws:

AnnotationDB.CrossReferenceException - an Exception thrown if referenced interfaces haven't been scanned

getAnnotationIndex

public Map<String,Set<String>> getAnnotationIndex()

returns a map keyed by the fully qualified string name of a annotation class. The Set returne is a list of classes that use that annotation somehow.

getClassIndex

public Map<String,Set<String>> getClassIndex()

returns a map keyed by the list of classes scanned. The value set returned is a list of annotations used by that class.

setScanClassAnnotations

public void setScanClassAnnotations(boolean scanClassAnnotations)

Whether or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for class level annotations

Parameters:

scanClassAnnotations -

setScanMethodAnnotations

public void setScanMethodAnnotations(boolean scanMethodAnnotations)

Wheter or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for method level annotations

Parameters:

scanMethodAnnotations -

setScanParameterAnnotations

public void setScanParameterAnnotations(boolean scanParameterAnnotations)

Whether or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for parameter level annotations

Parameters:

scanParameterAnnotations -

setScanFieldAnnotations

public void setScanFieldAnnotations(boolean scanFieldAnnotations)

Whether or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for parameter level annotations

Parameters:

setIgnoreBadURLs

public void setIgnoreBadURLs(boolean ignoreBadURLs)

Whether or not you want AnnotationDB to ignore bad URLs passed to scanArchives. Default is to throw an IOException.

Parameters:
