Method Detail

addValue

AnnotationAttribute addValue(Expression value)

addValues

AnnotationAttribute addValues(Iterable<Expression> values)

addValueAnnotation

AnnotationAttribute addValueAnnotation(Annotation valueAnnotation)

getValuesCopy

List<Expression> getValuesCopy()

getName

String getName()

Returns:

The name of this attribute. If no attribute is set (i.e., the default parameter value in the annotation is referenced), the name is the empty String.

getValue

Expression getValue()

Returns:

The first value, if one or more value is set, or null if no value is set.

isDefaultValueAttribute

boolean isDefaultValueAttribute()

Returns, if this attribute is the default value (i.e., maps to the parameter value, but is set without name. The name is not printed, only the value is.

Annotation.addDefaultValueAttribute(Expression...)

getValueAnnotation

Annotation getValueAnnotation()

getValueAnnotations

Annotation[] getValueAnnotations()

isArray

boolean isArray()

Returns if more than one value is set. If more than one value is set, the generated code is printed in curly brackets (the Java array definition syntax).

setArray

@Deprecated
AnnotationAttribute setArray(boolean isArray)

Deprecated. Array property should not be settable, but is derived from the number of values.

Will be removed in a future release.

setName

AnnotationAttribute setName(String name)

Sets the name of this attribute.

Parameters:

name - The parameter name of the attribute in the annotation. If this is the only attribute and it is named value, you can provide an empty String for concise output code. null is normalized to the empty String.

Returns:

This reference for chaining.

setValueAnnotation

AnnotationAttribute setValueAnnotation(Annotation valueAnnotation)

setValueAnnotations

AnnotationAttribute setValueAnnotations(Annotation[] valueAnnotation)

setValue

AnnotationAttribute setValue(Expression value)
