Method Detail

getTypes

Set<Type> getTypes()

Obtains the bean types of the bean.

Returns:

the bean types

getQualifiers

Set<Annotation> getQualifiers()

Obtains the qualifiers of the bean.

Returns:

the qualifiers

getScope

Class<? extends Annotation> getScope()

Obtains the scope of the bean.

Returns:

the scope

getName

String getName()

Obtains the EL name of a bean, if it has one.

Returns:

the EL name

getStereotypes

Set<Class<? extends Annotation>> getStereotypes()

Obtains the stereotypes of the bean.

Returns:

the set of stereotypes

isAlternative

boolean isAlternative()

Returns:

true if the bean is an alternative, and false otherwise.
