Field Type Checking for annotation

Question

I am working on annotations and I need to have compiler time error when below code is encountered

public void myMethod(@myAnn Object[] ob) {
.
.
}

Compiler error should not be thrown with below code

public void myMethod(@myAnn Object ob) {
.
.
}

i want type should be Object and not Object[]

I believe this is kind of type checking.Is there a way i can achieve this..reading at some other posts and JSR's i came to know this is something which is not allowed for annotations(I might be wrong hence i posted this q).

Answer 1

check for annotation type and make sure it's Object.class

like below code

if (annotation.annotationType().equals(java.lang.Object.class)){}
