Class BaseAnnotationProcessingService

java.lang.Object
  org.castor.core.annotationprocessing.BaseAnnotationProcessingService

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotationProcessingService

Direct Known Subclasses:

BaseTargetAwareAnnotationProcessingService

public class BaseAnnotationProcessingService
extends Object
implements AnnotationProcessingService

An AnnotationProcessingService handles multiple AnnotationProcessors and uses them to process one or more Annotations. This is a standard implementation that should be sufficient for most purposes.

Since:

1.3

Method Summary

void	addAnnotationProcessor(AnnotationProcessor annotationProcessor) Add an AnnotationProcessor to the service.
Set<AnnotationProcessor>	getAnnotationProcessors() Returns the set of AnnotationProcessors registered with this service.
<I extends BaseNature,A extends Annotation> boolean	processAnnotation(I info, A annotation) The processing action of this service.

Method Detail

addAnnotationProcessor

public void addAnnotationProcessor(AnnotationProcessor annotationProcessor)

Add an AnnotationProcessor to the service.

Specified by:

addAnnotationProcessor in interface AnnotationProcessingService

Parameters:

annotationProcessor - the AnnotationProcessor to add to this service.

See Also:

addAnnotationProcessor(AnnotationProcessor)

getAnnotationProcessors

public Set<AnnotationProcessor> getAnnotationProcessors()

Returns the set of AnnotationProcessors registered with this service.

Specified by:

getAnnotationProcessors in interface AnnotationProcessingService

Returns:

A set of AnnotationProcessors registered with this service.

getAnnotationProcessors()

processAnnotations

public <I extends BaseNature> Annotation[] processAnnotations(I info,
                                                              Annotation[] annotations)

Calls AnnotationProcessingService.processAnnotation(BaseNature, Annotation) for each given Annotation.

Specified by:

processAnnotations in interface AnnotationProcessingService

Parameters:

info - the BaseNature (and so its PropertyHolder) that should be filled with the information read

annotations - the annotations to process

Returns:

Annotation[] filled with unprocessed annotations

See Also:

processAnnotations(BaseNature, Annotation[])

processAnnotation

public <I extends BaseNature,A extends Annotation> boolean processAnnotation(I info,
                                                                             A annotation)

The processing action of this service. If an annotation is given which is not supported by this processor false is returned. Otherwise the Annotations specific processor will (try to) process the Annotation and the result of AnnotationProcessor.processAnnotation(BaseNature, Annotation) is returned.

Specified by:

processAnnotation in interface AnnotationProcessingService

Parameters:

info - the BaseNature (and so its PropertyHolder) that should be filled with the information read

annotation - the annotation to process

Returns:

true, if the annotation was processed, false if not
