| org.springframework.metadata.Attributes
All known Subclasses: org.springframework.metadata.commons.CommonsAttributes,
| Attributes | | public interface Attributes (Code) | | Interface for accessing attributes at runtime. This is a facade,
which can accommodate any attributes API such as Jakarta Commons Attributes,
or (possibly in future) a Spring attributes implementation.
The purpose of using this interface is to decouple Spring code from any
specific attributes implementation. Even once JSR-175 is available, there
is still value in such a facade interface, as it allows for hierarchical
attribute sources: for example, an XML file or properties file might override
some attributes defined in source-level metadata with JSR-175 or another framework.

| Method Summary | |
| Collection | getAttributes(Class targetClass)
Return the class attributes of the target class. | | Collection | getAttributes(Class targetClass, Class filter)
Return the class attributes of the target class of a given type.
The class attributes are filtered by providing a Class
reference to indicate the type to filter on. | | Collection | getAttributes(Method targetMethod)
Return the method attributes of the target method. | | Collection | getAttributes(Method targetMethod, Class filter)
Return the method attributes of the target method of a given type.
The method attributes are filtered by providing a Class
reference to indicate the type to filter on. | | Collection | getAttributes(Field targetField)
Return the field attributes of the target field. | | Collection | getAttributes(Field targetField, Class filter)
Return the field attributes of the target method of a given type.
The field attributes are filtered by providing a Class
reference to indicate the type to filter on. |
| getAttributes | | Collection getAttributes(Class targetClass)(Code) | | Return the class attributes of the target class.
Parameters:
targetClass - the class that contains attribute information a collection of attributes, possibly an empty collection, never null |
| getAttributes | | Collection getAttributes(Class targetClass, Class filter)(Code) | | Return the class attributes of the target class of a given type.
The class attributes are filtered by providing a Class
reference to indicate the type to filter on. This is useful if you know
the type of the attribute you are looking for and don't want to sort
through the unfiltered Collection yourself.
Parameters:
targetClass - the class that contains attribute information
Parameters:
filter - specify that only this type of class should be returned return only the Collection of attributes that are of the filter type |
| getAttributes | | Collection getAttributes(Method targetMethod)(Code) | | Return the method attributes of the target method.
Parameters:
targetMethod - the method that contains attribute information a Collection of attributes, possibly an empty Collection, never null |
| getAttributes | | Collection getAttributes(Method targetMethod, Class filter)(Code) | | Return the method attributes of the target method of a given type.
The method attributes are filtered by providing a Class
reference to indicate the type to filter on. This is useful if you know
the type of the attribute you are looking for and don't want to sort
through the unfiltered Collection yourself.
Parameters:
targetMethod - the method that contains attribute information
Parameters:
filter - specify that only this type of class should be returned a Collection of attributes, possibly an empty Collection, never null |
| getAttributes | | Collection getAttributes(Field targetField)(Code) | | Return the field attributes of the target field.
Parameters:
targetField - the field that contains attribute information a Collection of attribute, possibly an empty Collection, never null |
| getAttributes | | Collection getAttributes(Field targetField, Class filter)(Code) | | Return the field attributes of the target method of a given type.
The field attributes are filtered by providing a Class
reference to indicate the type to filter on. This is useful if you know
the type of the attribute you are looking for and don't want to sort
through the unfiltered Collection yourself.
Parameters:
targetField - the field that contains attribute information
Parameters:
filter - specify that only this type of class should be returned a Collection of attributes, possibly an empty Collection, never null |
