Method Detail

setValue

boolean setValue(java.lang.String name,
                 java.lang.Object value)

createNestableBean

AnnoBean createNestableBean(java.lang.Class beanOrAnnoType)

Returns an instance of an AnnoBean for the given annotation type which can be used as an AnnoBean for a nested annotation value. This does NOT 'add' the nested annotation to this AnnoBean - it is expected that the caller will later pass it as the value parameter of a subsequent call to setValue. Note that this can also be used for constructing elements of an array of nested annotation values.
