AnnotationDB (scannotation 1.0.4 API)

java.lang.Object
-
- org.scannotation.AnnotationDB
-

-
-
All Implemented Interfaces:
-
Serializable
-
-
-
-
```
public class AnnotationDB
-extends Object
-implements Serializable
```
-
The class allows you to scan an arbitrary set of "archives" for .class files. These class files - are parsed to see what annotations they use. Two indexes are created. The javax, java, sun, com.sun, and javassist - packages will not be scanned by default. -
- One is a map of annotations and what classes - use those annotations. This could be used, for example, by an EJB deployer to find all the EJBs contained - in the archive -
- Another is a mpa of classes and what annotations those classes use.
