Re: Custom Annotation and Generator

So I have done a little bit of digging in the source. And it seems that this is not supported!

In GWT there is a class/method: 

Annotations.isAnnotationPresent()

However it does not check for meta annotations:

In Spring annotations are checked as follows

Is this a feature that could make it into GWT???

Oh, sorry yes for generators.

Is reflection not supported in the context of generators though?

GWT doesn't full support the reflection API. See http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsCompatibility.html

Say I have a custom annotation that looks like the following:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)

@Component                                          

public @interface MyComponent {

String value() default "";

}

A class that is annotated as follows:

@MyComponent 

  private static class TestClass {

  }

And in the generator I am trying to find if the TestClass has the annotation @Component

if(clazz.isAnnotationPresent(Component.class))

   return clazz.getAnnotation(Component.class);

However this doesn't work in GWT.

The question is should this work???? 

Or do I have to create an abstract class and use @inheritance for this to work???
