Method Detail

getConstraintChecks

public ConstraintChecks getConstraintChecks(javax.lang.model.element.Element annotatedElement,
                                            javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror annotation)

Returns those checks that have to be performed to validate the given annotation at the given element. In case no checks have to be performed (e.g. because the given annotation is no constraint annotation) an empty ConstraintChecks instance will be returned. It's therefore always safe to operate on the returned object.

Parameters:

annotatedElement - An annotated element, e.g. a type declaration or a method.

annotation - An annotation.

Returns:

The checks to be performed to validate the given annotation at the given element.
