Method Detail

createAnnotation

public static Annotation createAnnotation(java.lang.Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType,
                                          java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> attributes)

Called from generated bytecode to instantiate a new Annotation. Specifically, a new dynamic proxy is created with a type annotationType, and this class as the InvocationHandler.

Parameters:

annotationType - - The Annotation class that this AnnotationImpl should represent

attributes - - The attributes for the Annotation For example, for @Persistable, Persistable.class
