| 30 | +/** | |
| 31 | + * <p>Meta-annotation that describes how an annotation element relates | |
| 32 | + * to a field in a {@link Descriptor}. This can be the Descriptor for | |
| 33 | + * an MBean, or for an attribute, operation, or constructor in an | |
| 34 | + * MBean, or for a parameter of an operation or constructor.</p> | |
| 35 | + * | |
| 36 | + * <p>Consider this annotation for example:</p> | |
| 37 | + * | |
| 38 | + * <pre> | |
| 39 | + * @Documented | |
| 40 | + * @Target(ElementType.METHOD) | |
| 41 | + * @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) | |
| 42 | + * public @interface Units { | |
| 43 | + * <b>@DescriptorKey("units")</b> | |
| 44 | + * String value(); | |
| 45 | + * } | |
| 46 | + * </pre> | |
| 47 | + * | |
| 48 | + * <p>and this use of the annotation:</p> | |
| 49 | + * | |
| 50 | + * <pre> | |
| 51 | + * public interface CacheControlMBean { | |
| 52 | + * <b>@Units("bytes")</b> | |
| 53 | + * public long getCacheSize(); | |
| 54 | + * } | |
| 55 | + * </pre> | |
| 56 | + * | |
| 57 | + * <p>When a Standard MBean is made from the {@code CacheControlMBean}, | |
| 58 | + * the usual rules mean that it will have an attribute called | |
| 59 | + * {@code CacheSize} of type {@code long}. The {@code @Units} | |
| 60 | + * annotation, given the above definition, will ensure that the | |
| 61 | + * {@link MBeanAttributeInfo} for this attribute will have a | |
| 62 | + * {@code Descriptor} that has a field called {@code units} with | |
| 63 | + * corresponding value {@code bytes}.</p> | |
| 64 | + * | |
| 65 | + * <p>Similarly, if the annotation looks like this:</p> | |
| 66 | + * | |
| 67 | + * <pre> | |
| 68 | + * @Documented | |
| 69 | + * @Target(ElementType.METHOD) | |
| 70 | + * @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) | |
| 71 | + * public @interface Units { | |
| 72 | + * <b>@DescriptorKey("units")</b> | |
| 73 | + * String value(); | |
| 74 | + * | |
| 75 | + * <b>@DescriptorKey("descriptionResourceKey")</b> | |
| 76 | + * String resourceKey() default ""; | |
| 77 | + * | |
| 78 | + * <b>@DescriptorKey("descriptionResourceBundleBaseName")</b> | |
| 79 | + * String resourceBundleBaseName() default ""; | |
| 80 | + * } | |
| 81 | + * </pre> | |
| 82 | + * | |
| 83 | + * <p>and it is used like this:</p> | |
| 84 | + * | |
| 85 | + * <pre> | |
| 86 | + * public interface CacheControlMBean { | |
| 87 | + * <b>@Units("bytes", | |
| 88 | + * resourceKey="bytes.key", | |
| 89 | + * resourceBundleBaseName="com.example.foo.MBeanResources")</b> | |
| 90 | + * public long getCacheSize(); | |
| 91 | + * } | |
| 92 | + * </pre> | |
| 93 | + * | |
| 94 | + * <p>then the resulting {@code Descriptor} will contain the following | |
| 95 | + * fields:</p> | |
| 96 | + * | |
| 97 | + * <table border="2"> | |
| 98 | + * <tr><th>Name</th><th>Value</th></tr> | |
| 99 | + * <tr><td>units</td><td>"bytes"</td></tr> | |
| 100 | + * <tr><td>descriptionResourceKey</td><td>"bytes.key"</td></tr> | |
| 101 | + * <tr><td>descriptionResourceBundleBaseName</td> | |
| 102 | + * <td>"com.example.foo.MBeanResources"</td></tr> | |
| 103 | + * </table> | |
| 104 | + * | |
| 105 | + * <p>An annotation such as {@code @Units} can be applied to:</p> | |
| 106 | + * | |
| 107 | + * <ul> | |
| 108 | + * <li>a Standard MBean or MXBean interface; | |
| 109 | + * <li>a method in such an interface; | |
| 110 | + * <li>a parameter of a method in a Standard MBean or MXBean interface | |
| 111 | + * when that method is an operation (not a getter or setter for an attribute); | |
| 112 | + * <li>a public constructor in the class that implements a Standard MBean | |
| 113 | + * or MXBean; | |
| 114 | + * <li>a parameter in such a constructor. | |
| 115 | + * </ul> | |
| 116 | + * | |
| 117 | + * <p>Other uses of the annotation are ignored.</p> | |
| 118 | + * | |
| 119 | + * <p>Interface annotations are checked only on the exact interface | |
| 120 | + * that defines the management interface of a Standard MBean or an | |
| 121 | + * MXBean, not on its parent interfaces. Method annotations are | |
| 122 | + * checked only in the most specific interface in which the method | |
| 123 | + * appears; in other words, if a child interface overrides a method | |
| 124 | + * from a parent interface, only {@code @DescriptorKey} annotations in | |
| 125 | + * the method in the child interface are considered. | |
| 126 | + * | |
| 127 | + * <p>The Descriptor fields contributed in this way by different | |
| 128 | + * annotations on the same program element must be consistent. That | |
| 129 | + * is, two different annotations, or two members of the same | |
| 130 | + * annotation, must not define a different value for the same | |
| 131 | + * Descriptor field. Fields from annotations on a getter method must | |
| 132 | + * also be consistent with fields from annotations on the | |
| 133 | + * corresponding setter method.</p> | |
| 134 | + * | |
| 135 | + * <p>The Descriptor resulting from these annotations will be merged | |
| 136 | + * with any Descriptor fields provided by the implementation, such as | |
| 137 | + * the <a href="Descriptor.html#immutableInfo">{@code | |
| 138 | + * immutableInfo}</a> field for an MBean. The fields from the annotations | |
| 139 | + * must be consistent with these fields provided by the implementation.</p> | |
| 140 | + * | |
| 141 | + * <p>An annotation element to be converted into a descriptor field | |
| 142 | + * can be of any type allowed by the Java language, except an annotation | |
| 143 | + * or an array of annotations. The value of the field is derived from | |
| 144 | + * the value of the annotation element as follows:</p> | |
| 145 | + * | |
| 146 | + * <table border="2"> | |
| 147 | + * <tr><th>Annotation element</th><th>Descriptor field</th></tr> | |
| 148 | + * <tr><td>Primitive value ({@code 5}, {@code false}, etc)</td> | |
| 149 | + * <td>Wrapped value ({@code Integer.valueOf(5)}, | |
| 150 | + * {@code Boolean.FALSE}, etc)</td></tr> | |
| 151 | + * <tr><td>Class constant (e.g. {@code Thread.class})</td> | |
| 152 | + * <td>Class name from {@link Class#getName()} | |
| 153 | + * (e.g. {@code "java.lang.Thread"})</td></tr> | |
| 154 | + * <tr><td>Enum constant (e.g. {@link ElementType#FIELD})</td> | |
| 155 | + * <td>Constant name from {@link Enum#name()} | |
| 156 | + * (e.g. {@code "FIELD"})</td></tr> | |
| 157 | + * <tr><td>Array of class constants or enum constants</td> | |
| 158 | + * <td>String array derived by applying these rules to each | |
| 159 | + * element</td></tr> | |
| 160 | + * <tr><td>Value of any other type<br> | |
| 161 | + * ({@code String}, {@code String[]}, {@code int[]}, etc)</td> | |
| 162 | + * <td>The same value</td></tr> | |
| 163 | + * </table> | |
| 164 | + * | |
