All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<String,Object>

public class AnnotationAttributes
extends LinkedHashMap<String,Object>

LinkedHashMap subclass representing annotation attribute key/value pairs as read by Spring's reflection- or ASM-based AnnotationMetadata implementations. Provides 'pseudo-reification' to avoid noisy Map generics in the calling code as well as convenience methods for looking up annotation attributes in a type-safe fashion.

Since:

3.1.1

Nested Class Summary

Nested classes/interfaces inherited from class java.util.AbstractMap

AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<K,V>, AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<K,V>

Constructor Summary

AnnotationAttributes()
Create a new, empty AnnotationAttributes instance.

AnnotationAttributes(int initialCapacity)
Create a new, empty AnnotationAttributes instance with the given initial capacity to optimize performance.

AnnotationAttributes(Map<String,Object> map)
Create a new AnnotationAttributes instance, wrapping the provided map and all its key/value pairs.

Method Summary

static AnnotationAttributes	fromMap(Map<String,Object> map) Return an AnnotationAttributes instance based on the given map; if the map is already an AnnotationAttributes instance, it is casted and returned immediately without creating any new instance; otherwise create a new instance by wrapping the map with the AnnotationAttributes(Map) constructor.
