Class AnnotationDescriptor

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.annotations.common.annotationfactory.AnnotationDescriptor

public final class AnnotationDescriptor
extends Object

Encapsulates the data you need to create an annotation. In particular, it stores the type of an Annotation instance and the values of its elements. The "elements" we're talking about are the annotation attributes, not its targets (the term "element" is used ambiguously in Java's annotations documentation).
