Class AnnotationDescriptor<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.annotation.AnnotationDescriptor<A>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConstraintAnnotationDescriptor

public class AnnotationDescriptor<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Encapsulates the data you need to create an annotation. In particular, it stores the type of an Annotation instance and the values of its elements. The "elements" we're talking about are the annotation attributes, not its targets (the term "element" is used ambiguously in Java's annotations documentation).
