Interface JavaAnnotatedElement

All Superinterfaces:

JavaModel, Serializable

public interface JavaAnnotatedElement
extends JavaModel

Equivalent of AnnotatedElement, providing the most important methods. Where the original AnnotatedElement uses an Array, the JavaAnnotatedElement is using a List.

Where you can use Annotations, you can also use JavaDoc. For that reason all JavaDoc methods have been added to this interface.

getAnnotations

List<JavaAnnotation> getAnnotations()

Equivalent of AnnotatedElement.getAnnotations()

Returns:

a list of Annotations, never null

getComment

Returns:

the comment, otherwise null

getTags

Retrieve all defined doclet tags.

Returns:

a list of DocletTags, never null

getTagsByName

List<DocletTag> getTagsByName(String name)

Retrieve all doclettags with a specific name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the doclet tag

Returns:

a list of doclettags, never null

getTagByName

DocletTag getTagByName(String name)

Retrieve the doclettag by the specified name. If there are more than one tags, only return the first one.

Parameters:

name - the name of the doclettag trying to retrieve

Returns:

the first doclettag matching the name, otherwise null

getNamedParameter

String getNamedParameter(String tagName,
                         String parameterName)
