Interface ClassFinder

public interface ClassFinder
ClassFinder searches the classpath of the specified ClassLoaderInterface for packages, classes, constructors, methods, or fields with specific annotations.

For security reasons ASM is used to find the annotations. Classes are not loaded unless they match the requirements of a called findAnnotated* method. Once loaded, these classes are cached.

The getClassesNotLoaded() method can be used immediately after any find* method to get a list of classes which matched the find requirements (i.e. contained the annotation), but were unable to be loaded.

  • Method Details

    • isAnnotationPresent

      boolean isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation> annotation)

    • getClassesNotLoaded

      List<String> getClassesNotLoaded()

      Returns a list of classes that could not be loaded in last invoked findAnnotated* method.

      The list will only contain entries of classes whose byte code matched the requirements of last invoked find* method, but were unable to be loaded and included in the results.

      The list returned is unmodifiable. Once obtained, the returned list will be a live view of the results from the last findAnnotated* method call.

      This method is not thread safe.

      Returns:
      an unmodifiable live view of classes that could not be loaded in previous findAnnotated* call.
