Method Detail

nextAnnotations

public static Set<? extends Annotation> nextAnnotations(Set<? extends Annotation> annotations,
                                                        Class<? extends Annotation> jsonQualifier)

Checks if annotations contains jsonQualifier. Returns the subset of annotations without jsonQualifier, or null if annotations does not contain jsonQualifier.

newParameterizedType

public static ParameterizedType newParameterizedType(Type rawType,
                                                     Type... typeArguments)

Returns a new parameterized type, applying typeArguments to rawType. Use this method if rawType is not enclosed in another type.

newParameterizedTypeWithOwner

public static ParameterizedType newParameterizedTypeWithOwner(Type ownerType,
                                                              Type rawType,
                                                              Type... typeArguments)

Returns a new parameterized type, applying typeArguments to rawType. Use this method if rawType is enclosed in ownerType.

arrayOf

public static GenericArrayType arrayOf(Type componentType)

Returns an array type whose elements are all instances of componentType.

subtypeOf

public static WildcardType subtypeOf(Type bound)

Returns a type that represents an unknown type that extends bound. For example, if bound is CharSequence.class, this returns ? extends CharSequence. If bound is Object.class, this returns ?, which is shorthand for ? extends Object.

supertypeOf

public static WildcardType supertypeOf(Type bound)

Returns a type that represents an unknown supertype of bound. For example, if bound is String.class, this returns ? super String.

getRawType

public static Class<?> getRawType(Type type)

collectionElementType

public static Type collectionElementType(Type context,
                                         Class<?> contextRawType)

Returns the element type of this collection type.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this type is not a collection.
