Method Detail
getAnnotatedOwnerType
default AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()
Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type. For example, if this type is@TA O<T>.I<S>, return a representation of@TA O<T>.Returns
nullif thisAnnotatedTyperepresents a top-level type, or a local or anonymous class, or a primitive type, or void.Returns
nullif thisAnnotatedTypeis an instance ofAnnotatedArrayType,AnnotatedTypeVariable, orAnnotatedWildcardType.- Implementation Requirements:
- This default implementation returns
nulland performs no other action. - Returns:
- an
AnnotatedTypeobject representing the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, ornull - Throws:
TypeNotPresentException- if the owner type refers to a non-existent type declarationMalformedParameterizedTypeException- if the owner type refers to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason- Since:
- 9
getType
Type getType()
Returns the underlying type that this annotated type represents.- Returns:
- the type this annotated type represents
