public class AnnotationDB
extends Object

The base of this class has been taken from scannotation which is not actively maintained anymore. Since it has Apache License v2.0, we maintain a bug fixed and highly adoped version on our own.

The class allows you to scan an arbitrary set of "archives" for .class files. These class files are parsed to see what annotations they use. Two indexes are created. The javax, java, sun, com.sun, and javassist packages will not be scanned by default.

One is a map of annotations and what classes use those annotations. This could be used, for example, by an EJB deployer to find all the EJBs contained in the archive

Another is a mpa of classes and what annotations those classes use.

Method Detail

getIgnoredPackages

public String[] getIgnoredPackages()

setIgnoredPackages

public void setIgnoredPackages(String[] ignoredPackages)

Override/overwrite any ignored packages

Parameters:

ignoredPackages - cannot be null

addIgnoredPackages

public void addIgnoredPackages(String... ignored)

crossReferenceMetaAnnotations

public void crossReferenceMetaAnnotations()
                                   throws AnnotationDB.CrossReferenceException

This method will cross reference annotations in the annotation index with any meta-annotations that they have and create additional entries as needed. For example:

Throws:

AnnotationDB.CrossReferenceException

getAnnotationIndex

public Map<String,Set<String>> getAnnotationIndex()

returns a map keyed by the fully qualified string name of a annotation class. The Set returned is a list of classes that use that annotation somehow.

getClassIndex

public Map<String,Set<String>> getClassIndex()

returns a map keyed by the list of classes scanned. The value set returned is a list of annotations used by that class.

setScanClassAnnotations

public void setScanClassAnnotations(boolean scanClassAnnotations)

Whether or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for class level annotations

Parameters:

scanClassAnnotations -

setScanMethodAnnotations

public void setScanMethodAnnotations(boolean scanMethodAnnotations)

Wheter or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for method level annotations

Parameters:

scanMethodAnnotations -

setScanParameterAnnotations

public void setScanParameterAnnotations(boolean scanParameterAnnotations)

Whether or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for parameter level annotations

Parameters:

scanParameterAnnotations -

setScanFieldAnnotations

public void setScanFieldAnnotations(boolean scanFieldAnnotations)

Whether or not you want AnnotationDB to scan for parameter level annotations

Parameters:

scanFieldAnnotations -

scanArchives

public void scanArchives(String... urls)
                  throws IOException

Scan a url that represents an "archive" this is a classpath directory or jar file

Parameters:

urls - variable list of URLs to scan as archives

Throws:

IOException

scanClass

public void scanClass(InputStream bits)
               throws IOException

Parse a .class file for annotations

Parameters:

bits - input stream pointing to .class file bits

Throws:

IOException

scanClass

protected void scanClass(javassist.bytecode.ClassFile cf)

scanMethods

protected void scanMethods(javassist.bytecode.ClassFile cf)

Scanns both the method and its parameters for annotations.

Parameters:

cf -

public void outputAnnotationIndex(PrintWriter writer)

Prints out annotationIndex

Parameters:

writer -
