AnnotatedElement
- All Known Subinterfaces:
-
AnnotatedArrayType,AnnotatedParameterizedType,AnnotatedTypeVariable,AnnotatedWildcardType

Type | getType() | Returns the underlying type that this annotated type represents. |

getAnnotatedOwnerType
default AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()
Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type. For example, if this type is @TA O<T>.I<S>, return a representation of @TA O<T>.
Returns null if this AnnotatedType represents a top-level type, or a local or anonymous class, or a primitive type, or void.
Returns null if this AnnotatedType is an instance of AnnotatedArrayType, AnnotatedTypeVariable, or AnnotatedWildcardType.
- Implementation Requirements:
- This default implementation returns
nulland performs no other action. - Returns:
- an
AnnotatedTypeobject representing the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, ornull - Throws:
-
TypeNotPresentException- if the owner type refers to a non-existent type declaration -
MalformedParameterizedTypeException- if the owner type refers to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason - Since:
- 9
getType
Type getType()
Returns the underlying type that this annotated type represents.
- Returns:
- the type this annotated type represents
