POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata (temporal-sdk 1.14.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- io.temporal.common.metadata.POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata

```
public final class POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata
extends java.lang.Object
```
Metadata of a workflow interface.
Rules:
- A workflow implementation must implement at least one non empty interface annotated with WorkflowInterface
- An interface annotated with WorkflowInterface can extend zero or more interfaces.
- An interface annotated with WorkflowInterface defines workflow methods for all methods it inherited from interfaces which are not annotated with WorkflowInterface.
- Each method name can be defined only once across all interfaces annotated with WorkflowInterface. So if annotated interface A has method foo() and an annotated interface B extends A it cannot also declare foo() even with a different signature.

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.lang.Class<?>`	`getInterfaceClass()`	Java interface `Class` that backs this workflow interface.
`POJOWorkflowMethodMetadata`	`getMethodMetadata(java.lang.reflect.Method method)`	Return metadata for a method of a workflow interface.
`java.util.List<POJOWorkflowMethodMetadata>`	`getMethodsMetadata()`
`java.util.Optional<POJOWorkflowMethodMetadata>`	`getWorkflowMethod()`
`java.util.Optional<java.lang.String>`	`getWorkflowType()`	Workflow type the workflow interface defines.
`static POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata`	`newInstance(java.lang.Class<?> anInterface)`	Returns POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata for an interface annotated with `WorkflowInterface`.
`static POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata`	`newInstanceSkipWorkflowAnnotationCheck(java.lang.Class<?> anInterface)`	Returns POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata for an interface that may be annotated with `WorkflowInterface`.

- Method Detail
  - newInstance
```
public static POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata newInstance(java.lang.Class<?> anInterface)
```
    Returns POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata for an interface annotated with WorkflowInterface.
  - newInstanceSkipWorkflowAnnotationCheck
```
public static POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata newInstanceSkipWorkflowAnnotationCheck(java.lang.Class<?> anInterface)
```
    Returns POJOWorkflowInterfaceMetadata for an interface that may be annotated with WorkflowInterface. This to support invoking workflow signal and query methods through a base interface without such annotation.
  - getWorkflowMethod
```
public java.util.Optional<POJOWorkflowMethodMetadata> getWorkflowMethod()
```
  - getInterfaceClass
```
public java.lang.Class<?> getInterfaceClass()
```
    Java interface Class that backs this workflow interface.
  - getWorkflowType
```
public java.util.Optional<java.lang.String> getWorkflowType()
```
    Workflow type the workflow interface defines. It is empty for interfaces that contain only signal and query methods.
  - getMethodMetadata
```
public POJOWorkflowMethodMetadata getMethodMetadata(java.lang.reflect.Method method)
```
    Return metadata for a method of a workflow interface.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if method doesn't belong to the workflow interface.
  - getMethodsMetadata
```
public java.util.List<POJOWorkflowMethodMetadata> getMethodsMetadata()
```
