• processAnnotations

  <I extends BaseNature> java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] processAnnotations​(I info,
                                                                              java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] annotations,
                                                                              java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement target)
                                                                       throws AnnotationTargetException

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

  Parameters:

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

  annotations - the annotations to process

  target - the target (AnnotatedElement) of the given annotation

  Returns:

  Annotation[] filled with unprocessed annotations

  Throws:

  AnnotationTargetException - if an annotation is used in a context that is not valid.

• processAnnotation

  <I extends BaseNature,A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> boolean processAnnotation​(I info,
                                                                                             A annotation,
                                                                                             java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement target)
                                                                                      throws AnnotationTargetException

  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 TargetAwareAnnotationProcessor.processAnnotation(BaseNature, Annotation, AnnotatedElement) is returned.

  Parameters:

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

  annotation - the annotation to process

  target - the target (AnnotatedElement) of the given annotation

  Returns:

  true, if the annotation was processed, false if not

  Throws:

  AnnotationTargetException - if an annotation is used in a context that is not valid.

  Returns:

  A set of TargetAwareAnnotationProcessors registered with this service.
