Class AbstractPropertyAnnotationProcessor<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation,M extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>

java.lang.Object
  org.loom.annotation.processor.AbstractAnnotationProcessor
      org.loom.annotation.processor.AbstractPropertyAnnotationProcessor<A,M>

Type Parameters:

A - The single annotation class

M - The multiple annotation class. It must have a single value property of type A[]

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotationProcessor

Direct Known Subclasses:

DateValidationAnnotationProcessor, EagerPropertyAnnotationProcessor, NumberValidationAnnotationProcessor, RequiredValidationAnnotationProcessor, RetrieveEntityAnnotationProcessor, StringValidationAnnotationProcessor

public abstract class AbstractPropertyAnnotationProcessor<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation,M extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>
extends AbstractAnnotationProcessor

Convenience class for annotations that are bound to a property and might be boundmore than once, which requires some workarounds since this is not possible with java.

                          ActionMapping mapping)

Description copied from interface: AnnotationProcessor

Expands an ActionMapping with the metadata annotated to an Action class. This method processes any annotations attached to the Action class or any containing package.

Specified by:

process in interface AnnotationProcessor

Specified by:

process in class AbstractAnnotationProcessor

Parameters:

metadata - the annotation metadata to be processed

mapping - the action mapping to be modified

process

protected abstract void process(ActionMapping mapping,
                                A annotation,
                                FilteredAnnotationContainer property)

Process a single annotation. This method gets invoked once per annotated property or for eaxch value inside a multiple annotation

Parameters:

mapping - the ActionMapping that is being processed

annotation - the annotation that should be processed

property - the property that is annotated with a single or multiple annotation
