The AnnotatedConstruct interface

The AnnotatedConstruction interface provides an annotatable construct to the language model API that has been part of the Java platform since version 1.8. It is applicable to constructs that are either an element (Interface Element) or a type (Interface TypeMirror). The annotations for each of these constructs differ, as shown in this table:

Construct type Interface Annotation
element Element Declaration
type TypeMirror Based on use of a type name

 

The AnnotatedConstruction interface has three methods:

  • getAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType): This method returns the type of the construct's annotation
  • getAnnotationMirrors(): This method returns a list of annotations that are on the construct
