RELEASE_6
source version.- API Note:
WARNING: The
AnnotationValueVisitorinterface implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with"visit"may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes and subclasses which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with"visit".When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to directly or indirectly call the
visitUnknownmethod. A new abstract annotation value visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When a new visitor is introduced, portions of this visitor class may be deprecated, including its constructors.- Since:
- 1.6

Method Details

visit
Visits any annotation value as if by passing itself to that value'saccept. The invocationv.visit(av, p)is equivalent toav.accept(v, p).- Specified by:
visitin interfaceAnnotationValueVisitor<R,P> - Parameters:
av- the value to visitp- a visitor-specified parameter- Returns:
- a visitor-specified result
-
visit
Visits an annotation value as if by passing itself to that value'sacceptmethod passingnullfor the additional parameter. The invocationv.visit(av)is equivalent toav.accept(v, null).- Specified by:
visitin interfaceAnnotationValueVisitor<R,P> - Parameters:
av- the value to visit- Returns:
- a visitor-specified result
-
visitUnknown
Visits an unknown kind of annotation value. This can occur if the language evolves and new kinds of value can be stored in an annotation.- Specified by:
visitUnknownin interfaceAnnotationValueVisitor<R,P> - Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation of this method in
AbstractAnnotationValueVisitor6will always thrownew UnknownAnnotationValueException(av, p). This behavior is not required of a subclass. - Parameters:
av- the unknown value being visitedp- a visitor-specified parameter- Returns:
- the result of the visit
