Method Detail

addQualifier

void addQualifier(Class<? extends Annotation> qualifier)

Declares an annotation type as a Qualifier qualifier type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a qualifier without adding Qualifier to it.

Parameters:

qualifier - The annotation to treat as a qualifier

addScope

void addScope(Class<? extends Annotation> scopeType,
            boolean normal,
            boolean passivating)

Declares an annotation type as a scope type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a scope type without adding the NormalScope or Scope annotations to it. You can also use this method to override an existing normal scope definition.

Parameters:

scopeType - The annotation type to treat as a scope type

normal - Indicates if the scope is normal

passivating - Indicates if the scope is passivation capable

addStereotype

void addStereotype(Class<? extends Annotation> stereotype,
                 Annotation... stereotypeDef)

Declares an annotation type as a stereotype, and specifies its meta-annotations.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a stereotype without adding Stereotype to it. You can also use this method to override an existing stereotype definition.

Parameters:

stereotype - The annotation type to treat as a stereotype

stereotypeDef - An optional list of annotations defining the stereotype

addInterceptorBinding

void addInterceptorBinding(Class<? extends Annotation> bindingType,
                         Annotation... bindingTypeDef)

Declares an annotation type as an interceptor binding type, and specifies its meta-annotations.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation an interceptor binding type without adding InterceptorBinding to it.

Parameters:

bindingType - The annotation type to treat as an interceptor binding type

bindingTypeDef - An optional list of annotations defining the interceptor

addAnnotatedType

void addAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType<?> type)

Adds a given AnnotatedType to the set of types which will be scanned during bean discovery.

Parameters:

type - The AnnotatedType to add for later scanning
