I have two annotations from a framework. Often I use those two annotations both on the same field. Thus I'm trying to create a "combined" annotation that contains that both two.
But I don't know if it is possible at all:
The existing annotations (that I have no control of):
@Target({ElementType.PARAMETER, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ApiParam {
String name() default "";
}
@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ApiModelProperty {
String name() default "";
}
My Custom annotation that I'm trying to create:
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE)
@ApiParam
@ApiModelProperty
public @interface SwaggerParam {
String name() default "";
}
Result: the annotations are not applicable to annotation type .
Question: Is there any chance?
Unfortunately you can't do this since it is not possible to extend annotations.
Is there something like Annotation Inheritance in java?
When I first answered this I was initially confused by the Spring framework approach to this shortcoming whereby they use meta level annotations (such as @Component as a meta annotation for @Controller/@Configuration etc.) as a sort of workaround.
