Interface Attributes

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Attributes

Interface for accessing attributes at runtime. This is a facade, which can accommodate any attributes API such as Jakarta Commons Attributes, or (possibly in future) a Spring attributes implementation.

The purpose of using this interface is to decouple Spring code from any specific attributes implementation. Even once JSR-175 is available, there is still value in such a facade interface, as it allows for hierarchical attribute sources: for example, an XML file or properties file might override some attributes defined in source-level metadata with JSR-175 or another framework.

Method Detail

getAttributes

Collection getAttributes(Class targetClass)

Return the class attributes of the target class.

Parameters:

targetClass - the class that contains attribute information

Returns:

a collection of attributes, possibly an empty collection, never null

---

getAttributes

Collection getAttributes(Class targetClass,
                         Class filter)

Return the class attributes of the target class of a given type.

The class attributes are filtered by providing a Class reference to indicate the type to filter on. This is useful if you know the type of the attribute you are looking for and don't want to sort through the unfiltered Collection yourself.

Parameters:

targetClass - the class that contains attribute information

filter - specify that only this type of class should be returned

Returns:

return only the Collection of attributes that are of the filter type

---

getAttributes

Collection getAttributes(Method targetMethod)

Return the method attributes of the target method.

Parameters:

targetMethod - the method that contains attribute information

Returns:

a Collection of attributes, possibly an empty Collection, never null

---

getAttributes

Collection getAttributes(Method targetMethod,
                         Class filter)

Return the method attributes of the target method of a given type.

The method attributes are filtered by providing a Class reference to indicate the type to filter on. This is useful if you know the type of the attribute you are looking for and don't want to sort through the unfiltered Collection yourself.

Parameters:

targetMethod - the method that contains attribute information

filter - specify that only this type of class should be returned

Returns:

a Collection of attributes, possibly an empty Collection, never null

---

getAttributes

Collection getAttributes(Field targetField)

Return the field attributes of the target field.

Parameters:

targetField - the field that contains attribute information

Returns:

a Collection of attribute, possibly an empty Collection, never null

---

getAttributes

Collection getAttributes(Field targetField,
                         Class filter)

Return the field attributes of the target method of a given type.

The field attributes are filtered by providing a Class reference to indicate the type to filter on. This is useful if you know the type of the attribute you are looking for and don't want to sort through the unfiltered Collection yourself.

Parameters:

targetField - the field that contains attribute information

filter - specify that only this type of class should be returned

Returns:
