Class SimpleAnnotation

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Annotation, Changeable
    public class SimpleAnnotation
extends AbstractAnnotation

    A no-frills implementation of Annotation that is just a wrapper around a LinkedHashMap.

    It will allow you to set any property, but will throw exceptions if you try to retrieve a property that is not set. Because of the use of a LinkedHashMap properties are iterated in the order they are entered.

    When you need to make a new Annotation instance and will want to populate it with properties, use this class.
