Method Detail

resolveTypeVariable

TypeDescription.Generic.AnnotationReader resolveTypeVariable(TypeVariable<?> typeVariable)

Resolves a formal type variable's type annotations.

Parameters:

typeVariable - The type variable to represent.

Returns:

A suitable annotation reader.

resolveSuperClassType

TypeDescription.Generic.AnnotationReader resolveSuperClassType(Class<?> type)

Resolves a loaded type's super class's type annotations.

Parameters:

type - The type to represent.

Returns:

A suitable annotation reader.

resolveInterfaceType

TypeDescription.Generic.AnnotationReader resolveInterfaceType(Class<?> type,
                                                              int index)

Resolves a loaded type's interface type's type annotations.

Parameters:

type - The type to represent.

index - The index of the interface.

Returns:

A suitable annotation reader.

resolveFieldType

TypeDescription.Generic.AnnotationReader resolveFieldType(Field field)

Resolves a loaded field's type's type annotations.

Parameters:

field - The field to represent.

Returns:

A suitable annotation reader.

resolveReturnType

TypeDescription.Generic.AnnotationReader resolveReturnType(Method method)

Resolves a loaded method's return type's type annotations.

Parameters:

method - The method to represent.

Returns:

A suitable annotation reader.

resolveParameterType

TypeDescription.Generic.AnnotationReader resolveParameterType(AccessibleObject executable,
                                                              int index)

Resolves a loaded executable's type argument type's type annotations.

Parameters:

executable - The executable to represent.

index - The type argument's index.

Returns:

A suitable annotation reader.

resolveExceptionType

TypeDescription.Generic.AnnotationReader resolveExceptionType(AccessibleObject executable,
                                                              int index)
